Rick448 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Since changing the M/C on my bike to a radial item the lever touches the fairing bracket at full lock. First of all would i be right thinking that this would be an MOT fail? And secondly what has anyone else done to alleviate this? I have tried changing the angle of the lever but it still touches, it certainly doesn't activate the brake and i'd never ride the bike at full lock but i would just like some advice by some experts here.

Bungle Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Pack out the steering lock stop a little. A common remedy for race bikes etc running different bars & fairings & levers where some contact can cause interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what i was planning to do and the fact you have suggested that also has convinced me that's the way to go. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronenige Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have seen people put a stick on wheel weight on the lock stop ( by people , I mean me ) quick easy and does the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilchicken0 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 It is an MOT fail. I got away with it by angling the master cylinder down but it has to be at just the right angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Incidentally, for people wanting to do this in the future, R1 & R6 radial M/C's are slightly angled outwards and can often sneak in where normal shaped radial m/c's can't quite make it!
