Hitting the frunk when parking

[rhody987]

Anyone else's horn and ignition switch hit the frunk when you park/lock the steering, or any turn with almost max handle bar deflection?

Mine don't come anywhere near - have you or your dealer angled the bars backwards at all?

I never did anything, but the dealer may have I am guessing.

I have 2" Rox Risers so all is clear, and I am more comfortable.

There is a punch mark in the handlebars that is used to line up the handlebars with the split of the bar risers. When you line them up the bars will clear everything when turned from lock to lock.

Ditto... plus you are able to angle the bars back so there is less reach...

No, but my frunk lid hits the turn signal when the bars are turned all the way left like when I am parked. I have 2" rox risers so I assume that is the reason. I just try to be careful when I open the lid.

Even without handlebar risers it has never happen to me... not even close.

The reason it happens with the risers is because many of us use risers to position the bars closer to the seat therefore closer to the frunk lid.

Thanks, conveniently the bike is in for break in service so I called them to have them check it, since no one else's is doing it. I'm slightly disappointed they didn't notice/say something.

Mine doesn't touch at all.... All clear... Handlenbars locked and maxed out, lid is untouched, and I can still open and shut the lid without any contact.

Have the dealership fix that with the quickness......

I felt the bar position, as delivered, was so high it felt like a Schwinn Sting-Ray. I rotated the bars back. They now come close to the frunk lid, but don't touch.

it felt like a Schwinn Sting-Ray.

Now there was a seat to complain about.

Dealership corrected, and got my bike back riding back on
