Well here in Edmonton at my local Big Al"s They have wee little one inch widebars for $18.99. The owner has some sort of relative hook up in Asia and he brought in 50 of them. I have a 5 inch or so thinbar that I'm thinking or trading in (so that he doesn't eat them) and buying ten of the little guys.
Does anyone know how many lateral spines a widebar is supposed to have ?

Dude read again. I said lateral spines, not stripes. As in the lateral spines they have on their back.
