Author Message   Daddyo Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 07:41 pm:        2002 M2 Cyclone. Bars are hitting the tank. Why? Fork stoppers fell off long ago... Anyone else deal with this? How'd you go about fixing it?   Harleyms Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 08:56 pm:        I saw in one of the archive threads where someone used contact cement to glue pieces of rubber hose in the place of the stock ones.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 08:59 pm:        Order a new set. Glue them on.   Jramsey Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 10:09 pm:        Those little thin foam oem rubbers won't keep the the control's from hitting the tank,they just keep the frame/fork tube from marring each other. Bar/control's to tank interference is caused by the bars being pulled back to far or the wrong bars for the bike, show a pic.   Daddyo Posted on Saturday, April 30, 2011 - 01:25 pm:        I'll post a pic as soon as I can. Bikes in my friends garage. Put two new exhaust studs in. (Message edited by Daddyo on April 30, 2011)   Devil_car Posted on Sunday, May 01, 2011 - 10:55 pm:        Definitely buy a new set. It comes with the necessary epoxy to attach them as well. Like Jramsey said, they won't prevent the controls from hitting the tank, but they will keep the lower triple clamp from hitting the tank! I finally got around to installing my missing one a couple of months ago (bought the bike new, and it was never there).   X1brett Posted on Monday, May 02, 2011 - 03:30 pm:        My bars started hitting the the tank too. I thought it was a stopper issue but, as it turns out, I just dropped a wheelie too hard one time and my weight rotated the handlebars downward. This may not be your issue but it took me a while to figure this out!   Dfbutler Posted on Monday, May 02, 2011 - 03:52 pm:        +1 on bars. Happened to me. Went to turn bike and horn blew. Scared the crap out of me!   Ltbuell Posted on Monday, May 02, 2011 - 05:44 pm:        ..+1 to that Dfbutler..same thing too.Startled me then took a look at the bar position and repositioned it a bit more forward....bingo no more horn startling moments.....   Daddyo Posted on Monday, May 02, 2011 - 06:25 pm:        Too funny on the horn spooking you. Where's a good place to pic some up?   Joesbuell Posted on Wednesday, May 04, 2011 - 06:52 am:        I cut some pieces out of a spare radiator hose for my Mutant and contact glued them on they work a treat.   X1brett Posted on Wednesday, May 04, 2011 - 02:42 pm:        +1 on the horn honk. Funny we've all had that happen. Hope this helps you Daddyo.
