(This post was last modified: 21-08-2014, 05:33am by murphc13.)
Master Cylinder fitted.I have mine just fitted and full lock to the left is catching the lever.
One annoying and two dangerous.
Im sure some of you have fitted it but what have you done to get around this?File a little of the inside front cowling to allow clearance for the lever or is there a way to do it without fileing/altering bodywork?
Any help would be great:)

Not sure mate - I'm guessing a shorty lever wouldn't fix your problem ?

Can't you re-position them on the bar? Or tilt?

The shorty lever i doubt would work.I havent tried re positioning yet.My mechanic fitted it along with the brake lines.I think he would have played with the "tilt" but ill ask him tomorrow.Its dangerous as is now so something will have to be done....the front brake locks when i get close to full left lock...eeeeekk:(

I am not sure dangerous is the word as the only time you would be moving your bike at full steering lock would be "walking" it into a park position, wouldn't it???
is the lever it's self also adjustable for reach??

I would use full lock doing a u turn to the left or also when putting the bike in the garage.Its dangerous because the front brake engages and we all have gone down in our early riding years grabbing the front brake during slow manouvers:).The lever has span adjustment but its already closer to the grip than id prefer but still touching the cowl:(

Loosen and re-angle. You should find a spot it doesn't touch and still feels ok. If you leave it it's bound to catch you out eventually.
