I had my Paul Yaffe 10'' monkey bars finally put on! They are a game changer and riding with my arms extended has made my ride so much more enjoyable! I had them positioned straight and I did notice that they do sit perfectly straight and even! However as I stand up and look straight down at the clamp area the bar appears a little higher to one side off center but I know they are right and straight. He said (indy) they sit perfectly with the riser so I'm confident they are!
Has anyone else ever experience this after they put their bars on? I'm sure it's a pretty good probability the housing could be off center and not made exactly perfect. Upon further examination I see the base of the bars one side a little fatter on one side and I'm thinking that could play a part on why it appears to be slightly off!
As I sit flat footed on the seat it's not a bit noticeable! Anyone experience something like this or hear of it?
thanks!

Are they 1.25” diameter? If so the center only has enough area in the clamp area to be centered. But for internal wiring sometimes people don’t push the trips far enough in. The wires get bound up at times. I’d check to see if your grips can move to the center of the bars more
Could also be that they are slightly off center in the clamp... As they reduce down to the 1" section for clamping, the area is wider than the risers. I was **** when I did mine and used a 6" scale to make sure they were centered.
