Default new risers hitting console

bought these riders and installed em yesterday http://www.jpcycles.com/product/5000255 Look great, and like the way they feel, but bars are hitting my console before full lock. Anyone know of any solutions?

A pic of how the bars contact the console would help. I don't know that you have too many options, maybe someone here had the same problem. I can think of 3 things to do:
rotate the bars
get new bars
get different risers

guess I should rephrase it.... it's the part of the riser that clamps onto the bars. It's real close to full travel... debating shimming it up a bit and see what happens or maybe trimming the console with a dremel.
