Adjusting Handle Bars
Been adjusting the bars on my bike trying to find the sweet spot! Know that I found the best riding position for them, is it necessary to pull each bolt out and lock tight them one at a time, and what about torquing them, our is that just over kill. Thanks for some feed back!

That's what I did. After finding the sweet spot, I took each one out and blue locite them one at a time, don't want it to slip. Now, that being said, with my fairing and all, I have to take the front faring and radio out to access the mounting clamp.

I would definatley loctite them and re-torque them. Follow the instructions in the service manual. You really don't want them coming loose. I check mine every month or so when I do all my critical fasteners.
I was once involved in a near miss on the highway that resulted in me bailing into the ditch. I kept the bike upright, but I managed to pull my handlebars into my chest as I bumped along.
