Take the caps off your bar clamps, pull your handlebars up and reinstall the caps upside down underneath the handlebars then add new caps on top with longer bolts.

looked at doing that but a cheaper option was for a mate to turn up some alloy spacers and i re-shaped the head of two stainless bolts to fit the gasser clamps, total cost ?1.50 for the bolts.

Exactly what I did , got some bar, drilled a hole in it, got longer bolts and ground 2 sides off them

I don't know a lot about metal hardnesses but it might be worth looking at how hard stainless is compared to say a grade 8 bolt. I thought stainless was kinda soft?

stainless steel would be a lot harder

Bolt grade research will show that stainless is not as hard as you think.
An 8.8 bolt would be way stronger. Gas gas bolts on the bars and triples are 12.9 which is a very, very strong bolt and at least twice as strong as stainless, probably three times.

There are diffrent grades of stainles like s130 very tough used in the aerospace industry.
harder means more brittle, the bolt grades are to do with strain when tightening, |

so is a stainless steel bolt strength measured differently? (just curious)
