Those are a lot like mine. Being single point mounted they do like to rotate if you try to weight them too much. Mine spun (even though blue loctited) when riding up a guys whoop infested dirt driveway and I stood on them a bit too hard.
I ended up removing them and roughing up all the chrome mating surfaces, then remounting them. As soon as I had them adjusted correctly, I applied some green wicking 290 Loctite, then really torqued them down. They haven't rotated since.
I like their adjustability and plan to stick with them even if someday I end up welding the parts together, but so far they have held fast.

They are comfortable, that's for sure. I agree 100% on the adjustability. They look great on your bikes!
I just didn't like the look on my bike. I guess I had mine adjusted where they felt best to me, but that position was ugly.

In addition to the loctite, I also mentioned roughening up the chrome to chrome surfaces, this is the most important step as loctite needs something to lock to. I ended up having to roughen the all of the surfaces in the rotational plane including the chamfered bolt head and it's mating surface.
The socket heads on these cheap fasteners can't take too many torque downs and removals before they round out. Try to just do it once if you can.
