No idea what you're referring to here.
For you and anyone else wondering about how grippy this situation is and whether or not it will rotate when underway, I will let you know. The weather forecasts keep changing by the day between large blocks of dry and large blocks of rain. Wish I could be that wrong at a job and keep it... Anyway, I'm simply going to have to put this on my fendered 620 and do all the testing on that. I'm glad it looks good on the 560, but I'll need a weather-agnostic "test rig" to put some miles down.
So, if it is held better with less potentially destructive force from the clamp the assembly maybe more likely to weather the stress of the clamping force to hold the bottle and cage where you want it.
It may be grippy enough but it also may be under too much stress for the long haul, grip from stiction could help keep the structure from blowing up.
I realize emblem tape can be a can of worms but it could do some work that the mount may not be up to in the long run.
A simple leash to contain it in case it assplodes without warning, you certainly don't want any of that sucked into or under either wheel at speed or otherwise.
