Not hard to find 7/8" rabbit ears; gonna need something a little different with that stock top tree - perhaps a different top tree with through holes or modifying and cleaning up what ya got, or getting a set custom made to fit that stock top tree - but its a chopper man:
Plain Groovy Rabbit Ear Bars
The 7/8" bars fit bikes with 100mm mounting. These narrow bars measure 10" apart at the grips.
7/8″ Rabbit Ears
All bars are made to order. The are built from 7/8 – .120 wall S304 stainless steel.
these guys got a cheaper set made for xs, or others with 4" centre to center mounting
Don't know if they will meet your idea of budget though...
What about build 'em; seen this article?:
Build Custom Handlebars with Cry Baby Cycles
"...I will walk you through the process of making some killer custom bars for your bike. Remember, be creative and push yourself to go outside the box and you will have the raddest pair of bars in the hood!..."

Those visually are what I'm looking for. Its the mounting (as you know) that's the hard part. Im not sure if there's a top tree out there that I can swap to that'll allow me to use those bars as-is.Comment

Something more like this:
Clamp ID: 35mm, Tree Width: 9", Total Stem Length: 9-1/8", Stem Length Between Trees: 8"
Fits: Honda: CB500 and CB550
"Kemp decided to introduce this specific GL1000 model because the GL1000 forks are a common donor front-end to be used on the 500/550 Four's and 750's. It's a tremendous upgrade over the stock 35mm forks and allows the user to also take advantage of the front wheels and dual disc setup found on GL's."
You didn't tell the year and model of your bike...more importantly, the make and model of front end.
Know the diameter of your fork tubes? This will help to determine others with the same size:

Bike is a 1980 GS850L. That’s what the title says anyway. But seriously though, the engine and the entire front end are stock 1980 GS850LComment

What about a narrow set of 7/8” rabbit ears with a 7/8” crossbar for the top tree? Something similar to my bars(this is an early pic before they got trimmed narrower).

I think I’ll do a rabbit ear version on that mounting style. I was thinking of TIG’ing Nickles on each open end of the clamped portionComment
