Rizoma handlebar clamp question

[Flying1098]

Im installing my new rizoma handlebar clamp and it doesn't meet the bottom clamp evenly. Meaning there is a gap on the bottom of the clamp. I've evenly placed each bolt.

Wht gives?????

the stock one does the same thing, that's how you tighten down the bar.

You want to make sure that the space between the clamp and the base are about he same top and bottom, so the clamping force is even, then torque to spec.
