My bars were crooked when I got my bike back from the dealer after having new risers and cables installed. I straightened them myself and was surprised at how loose they left the riser bolts. I just used the good and tight method. I check them every once in awhile and they are still tight.

slap some red loctite and tighten til they feel good.
never used the torq wrench til the other day I thought well **** on it, I'll do it right for once and torq like the manual says... effin stripped out my screw on the inspection cover. from now on, back to my method...tight till it feels good with some loctite.

+1. Do NOT use red loctite on riser bolts or anything you think you may have to loosen later. My rule of thumb is, if I can't put a torch to it (to loosen it later), I don't use red. Blue would be okay for riser bolts, tho.
