I took at look at the installation instructions for a B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System like part # BWMC2301 and it gives the following advice if the handlebars move while in transit.

"If the bike’s handlebars move or movement needs to be limited further do one or both of the following; lower
the side plates on the base to compress bike’s suspension further, or tighten the biker bar clamp to be sure it is
not sliding on the bike’s frame."
