I’ve spent about an hour on the forums looking this up , it seems you should way reduce the torque if it has anti seize on it .
I’m guessing now I’ll go and buy a can of brake cleaner and with compressed air try and clean the bolts and bolt holes.
The BMW bolts that came out had loctite on so perhaps I should go with that and then torque them up .
Tbh I was a bit worried I’d not get them all done up before the loctite cured .
It all looks so simple , I watched a YouTube where a fella fits the very same bars and uses copious amounts of antisieze .I always thought it was good practice…. All I’ve done is create more work for myself .

No drama - twist up some bits of shop cloth and spray them with brake or carb cleaner and clean the threaded holes out. Make sure you use blue loctite - it takes a while to set so no problem there.
Watch it spraying carb or brake cleaner around - it'll go for plastic and paint.
@Airhead - looks proper!

Probably easier to run a tap in the head and die in the bolt to clean the threads.
Usually use 248 loctite as easily available from halfords

It's an anti-seize but it's made from grease and other stuff so is a bit of a lube as well (not a very good one.) I wouldn't worry about it.
That said, Loctite is the tits because you can forget about stuff vibrating loose.
