Best bet is to drill and tap the clamps. You should be able to do this is the bottom side and they won't be noticeable.

Do you have regular riser caps or a one piece top clamp? Are you using poly bushings? A lot of it also has to do with how you torque them. Is the gap between the riser and the caps even all the way around? The sand paper trick works as does the piece of a can. Another version is a strip of drywall screen. If you have risers with caps on them, there was a guy on here who drilled and tapped holes in the center of the caps to fit the ***** G skull liscence plate screws. He mounted the bars, got them to the angle he wanted, then drilled a hole in the bars large enough for the bolts to go into through the holes in the riser caps. He then screwed the will g bolts into the tapped holes in the caps and the extra length went into the holes in the bars, he said it held great and the pics he posted looked good to boot.
