Heya! Not the exact same, but I've modded a shimano dura-ace bar end to throw a sram clutch 10speed through its full range. Required an extra 8mm of cable throw if I remember correctly. I filled off the top just as you were thinking. There doesn't appear to be any internal mechanism inhibiting the throw, just the bar pod preventing the lever from moving further. I traced out an outline with sharpie beforehand to get a nice flush curved finish, doesn't even look like a mod. I've since seen people shave them for eagle 12sp.
