Riser help, please...

Okay, I'm having a little bit of trouble with the visual here. Typically, the rear bolts on riser clamps are the ones you torque down good (bolts closest to the rear of the bike) as that's the pressure point (pulling on the bars). However, the Rivco risers on my R3T are **** near vertical. The lowers are set a little farther back; more like this angle \ . Using the slash as reference, I torqued the lower bolts first and then the uppers. That seems like the right way if if the visual in my mind of how the pressure will be is correct. Sound right?

Normal procedure with pinch type clamping is an even torque value on all fasteners in an 'X' pattern. Torque them progressively, that is if Rivco specifies a final torque value, tighten them in an x pattern to 75% of the final torque value and the go back and tighten them to the stated value begining with the first fastener tightened.

Just like wheel studs on your cage.

If there is no specified torque value, Triumph calls out 26Nm in the shop manual. I'm presuming that's a dry torque value, that is, no anti-sieze on the threads.
