Handlebar C Clamps Question
Which is the correction direction for the handlebar C clamp?
With the loop to the front?
Or the loop to the back? Will the opening to the front allow water to get in and rust the hardware easier than if to the back?

Rubber lube
Chris
Back in the day, we used brake fluid, DOT 3 since that was all there was, to lube the rubber parts on automobiles that were exposed to the elements.
It didn't hurt the rubber parts, and made us feel as though we were helping prolong the life of the rubber.
Just a thought.

Kurt thanks for the link. I don't remember the position it was. The pictures in your link have both front and back loop, so I decided to follow the picture in the manual and installed the loop to the back, towards the rider.
Thanks
