Handlebar upper lower bolt specs, 16 and 16 or 16 and 29?

[agunslinger]

Keep seeing different specs for these bolts.  Some say 16 fp all around, some say 16 upper, 29 lower.  Anyone have the service manual?
 
And to fasten correctly, tighten uppers down until no gap, then lowers down where there will be gap, correct?
 
thx

Straight out of the manual, 16u/29L.

I think there may be some confusion here on 'upper' and 'lower' in this context. I believe that 'upper' refers to the four hex head bolts that secure the caps to the risers and clamp the handlebars in place, while the 'lower' is the spec for the nuts under the triple clamp that threads onto the riser studs and - recall notwithstanding - secures the risers to the upper triple clamp from below.

the workshop manual states:
 
"First, tighten the bolts on the front side of the upper handlebar holder, and then on the rear side."
 
So this means tighten the forward bolts down to it stops (16 ft lbs) and then the rearward (closest to you) to 16 ft lbs - there will be a gap.  This is how they are from new.

Thanks gentlemen. That makes sense and explains the other 29 torque posts. I HOPE they understood that distinction.
