Anyone else had trouble getting the handlebar clamps to stay put rather than rotating so the bars dig into the tank? :-(
There is thin shim and I made some new BSC bolts from high tensile 4" long BSF ones (one old bolt had sheared) but worried about cracking the cast brackets if I over tighten. Seems a poor design but perhaps normal for girder forks?
Locktite doesn't feel like it will work (?) and tricky to drill a Scotch key. Would a radial pin shear off?
Putting quite a lot of load on the bars starting the engine and moving the bike around.
Any ideas?
