Bo,
I probably should have taken a picture of the small vixen bar.
I had to drill two holes into it to get my equipment to line up. The holes provided wern't up to the task.
A longer length vixen bar may not help you either as my long bar only has 4 holes in it. The long vixen bar came with the ST80 package when i brought it. The small one came with the HEQ5.
I couldn't use the long bar on the ST80 as it hit the dew shield of the ED80. Luckily it fit on the ED80 and the holes were alright, but as said, i had to drill 2 more holes in the smaller vixen bar to get holes that were close enough for the short tube ST80 to fit.
This is probably your best bet if you were to get another vixen bar:

Otherwise, take a drill to your current one
