I opted to pay extra $40 versus the regular Napoleons to avoid the required hacking and get the proper hardware to ensure a tight fit.
I installed the star washer that comes with the hardware to prevent antirotation but still they move around. I have tighten them as much as possible and I fear more will strip the thread on the aluminum bar. Any suggestions? Would an extra washer between the Allen head bolt and the bar end base help?
Triumph Napoleons only come with a star washer to install between the bar and the base of the Napoleon.

Mine moved around a little at first, so I just carry a
lil' allen wrench around in my jacket pocket. Check it
before each ride. Over a couple months, it just sorta settled
in and I just hand check it now to make sure it isn't loose.
Hasn't been loose in a long time. Now, that little set screw
also gave me some issues, kept coming loose too. I just put
a little lock tite on that.

I seem to remember the torque setting is 9nm, but I don't
remember exactly. When I was out and about, I would use
the allen wrench in my pocket to get it tight enough not to
move around.

Mine don't move at all, but if they did I'd go with some blue loctite between the mirror arm and the clip on.

Mine did move - I used some blue loc-tite - now they don't.
