Default Handlebar Riser Bushings

I installed the riser bushings tonight and am not sure if this is normal. The service manual said 30-40 Ft-Lbs and I did 35 on each side, but the brake side looks like it's bulging.

Is this normal or should I be concerned about it?

Thats not normal, but personally I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe check it in a while to make sure it doesn't crack. If it does, have them give you a new set.

I agree, it shouldn't be that way. I'd have them replace it
