LSL Handlebars installation, Question with loose handlebars

Installed my ABM/LSL handlebars this weekend (*NOT* a fun install, in my opinion, but awesome results!) and under hard low-speed braking (just testing things out in the cul-de-sac) the handlebars rotate. I've tightened down the clamps as hard as I'm able - any recommendations to keep the bars from rotating? I've heard things like cutting up a beer can into thin strips and shimming the clamps (from Zen and the art of Motorcycling) - any other ideas? I may try that one when I get home from work tonight, but if someone can come up with something better... I'd be interested in what you smart people have to say - especially the guys that have done this already!

Thanks in advance!

This is my idea - if there is a slit in the "clamp" areas that hold the bar and IF there
is room I would use a small file and make the slit bigger.

That should allow the clamp to be tightened a little more.
Without see any pictures I'm not sure if this is the best option.
If all you need is it to be a little tighter this may work and be better then adding a beer can.

What ever you do, please let us know as I have thought about doing this too.
 
Are you tightening the risers equally? Also make sure the top riser is facing the same with the lower riser.
