It's an anti-seize but it's made from grease and other stuff so is a bit of a lube as well (not a very good one.) I wouldn't worry about it.
That said, Loctite is the tits because you can forget about stuff vibrating loose.

I’ve spent about an hour on the forums looking this up , it seems you should way reduce the torque if it has anti seize on it .
I’m guessing now I’ll go and buy a can of brake cleaner and with compressed air try and clean the bolts and bolt holes.
The BMW bolts that came out had loctite on so perhaps I should go with that and then torque them up .
Tbh I was a bit worried I’d not get them all done up before the loctite cured .
It all looks so simple , I watched a YouTube where a fella fits the very same bars and uses copious amounts of antisieze .I always thought it was good practice…. All I’ve done is create more work for myself .

It sounds like I’ve done wrong .
Is copper slip lubricant or anti seize ?
