Instructions (continued)
Once you have finished preparing the screen you need to prepare the handlebar clamps. Each handlebar clamp is made up from an "arm clamp", a "hinged bracket", two plastic spacers and a bolt.
Repeat the following process to prepare each handlebar clamp.
- First check that you have sufficient space on your handlebars to fit the clamps. I found that the best place to fit them was on the lower central section of the bars as shown in the picture. This space should be available unless you have already fitted something else there. Obviously you will need a clear space at the same place on both sides of the handlebars.
- Fit the "hinged bracket" around the bar so that the ridged area is above the bar. I found that if the bolt also goes in front of the bar (as shown) the screen will provide better wind protection because it is more upright. If you feel this leaves the screen too tall you can always swap these clamps around later so that the bolt passes behind the bars.
- Insert the spacers between the bar and the bracket, checking that the bracket will close and get a good grip on the bar. If you still have the bikes original bars you should need to use both spacers, but some of the aftermarket bars may need less.
- Place the "arm clamp" over the ridged area on the "hinged bracket" and insert the bolt through the hole in the clamp. Tighten the bolt enough to stop everything falling apart, but leave it loose enough that you can move the clamp during the final adjustments.
