I have loosened and retorqued both clamps ensuring the fronts are touching and all the gap is at the back. Is it normal for the gaps to vary so much? I have asked my dealer and they have no clue. Honda was contacted and their local rep refuses to answer if it is good or not. I find the gap variance really distracting. I would just like to know what others have seen.
Why are you concerned with a .024" difference? There are manufacturing tolerances for four separate items here - the lower bar mount, the handlebars, and the two clamps. Plus, the method that the bolts are tightened will affect the gap also. As long as the bars are tight and you have a gap then you have nothing to worry about.
