Either your tank is too far forward or there is a bit of a problem with your lock stops.
Ate your front tank mounting rubbers in place and correct?.

Re: Z1A forks
Hi ……. rubbers are new and the tank fits as it should, the forks only hit the tank on one side… lock stops on the bottom yoke have not been tampered with both stops measuring 300mm … the issue seems to be the distance from the yoke lock stops to the frame stop … one side measures 300mm the other measures 25mm ( the 25mm side does not hit the tank ) ….. I have managed to improve the measurement by 2mm by loosening the lower yoke pinch bolts and turning the handlebars with front wheel held between my knees ……… I just do not understand the difference in measurements
Re: Z1A forks
its either a bent or worn stop on the frame or worn stops on the steering stem
