I got given one of these for the pig. It has a bit goes under the seat, easy enough, and a bit that goes into the bar end.

I've fitted the thing into the bar and turned it but it never seems to get properly tight. I think that a right good pull could get it out. Am I missing something?

The instructions aren't brilliant and in Spanish.

Anyone fitted one and got it to work?

Cheers

I have one fitted to my ex spanish postal, I had Al diablo fit it.
TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.
I know I’ll get there and back

I've had them fitted on a few scoots, some of the handlebar bolts fit better than others, on the ones that wouldn't tighten up easily I packed them with plumbers putty, the stuff that hardens brick hard
it may be worth a trip to B&Q to see if they have an expanding bolt that is a better size

Cheers, I'd emailed Artago as well, and just had a response from them this morning with decent English instructions and a suggestion that if it still doesn't tighten properly to try fitting a washer.

I'd also wondered if some sort of adhesive might be necessary.
