Tightening sequence for bar clamps ?

I was about to mention that there supposed to be punch marks, indicating the [forward] position... typical Honda.
Same for bar, clutch/brake armatures and switches (as well as brake & sift lever) having the default ergos marked...

Lobo:
Appreciate CB750 forks, but guessing the logic carries over…

Sesman:
My original 77F2 clamps don’t have punch marks…just saying.

Sesman:
Having written that, if the clamps are stepped then the same logic applicable to the fork clamps must apply.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I had this vision of equal clamping on the handlebars to allow air flow thus preventing water to accumulate & cause rusting. ;D ;D ;D

Theory does not pass the same test for fork clamps where there is likely to be a much greater threat from water. :-\ :-\ :-\
