Lightbulb Installing Loner Risers- Torque specs?

I am going to install 1" Loner Industries risers on my 2011 Street Bob. Ever since I switched to RSD Vintage (12") bars I have had crazy vibration in the handlebars, and I think that has to do with the torque amounts.

My question is- how much do I torque the Loner risers to the factory risers? I know I have to torque the handlebar clamps 12-16 ft-lbs, but what about the risers themselves?

Anyone else get vibration (more than normal at least) when replacing the factory handlebars as well?

Thanks!

I have the 1" loner riser and just used the same torque value as the manual states for the handlebar clamp. No problems and I love the feel of the riser. Loner makes a great quality product.

I do have vibration as well after going to a different bar. I don't know how to fix it I always use the German tightening technique: guttentight as regarding my handle bars I am interested to see responses from those mode knowledgeable than myself

I used the 1" loner risers as well with 14" carlinis. Torqued to service manual specs. No more vibration than factory bars to me. '09 streetbob..
