Damn these new fangled things.......

unfortunatley the handlebars are too big for the brackets ....not too small, the problem is the brackets will not wrap around the bar far enough
to get the screw in. no amount of rubber is gonna make the brackets bigger.

One for you there Finbar......something along the lines of not being able to get a screw in and rubbers not being any good?........cmon son i know you can do something with that.
