Switch gear hitting Air tubes!
 
Just fitted my carbon airtubes, and when turning the bars left. the bottom of the switch gear unit, catches the top of the tubes! Has anyone encountered this problem, and whats the best way round it!

Not got carbon airtubes, but the easiest solution would be to move the switchgear round slightly on the clip on if possible, you might need to remove the retaining pin etc.

Have you refitted the top fairing yet? Just wondering as the airtubes like to stick out further than they should without the top fairing holding them in the right place. This pulls them in quite a bit, so it may just be that.

Otherwise, haven't got a clue!

Weeksy's right. If you look under the front of the nose cone at the top of the bottom yoke. There should be two bumps, one each side of the yoke.
At the front of the Headstock is a bracket which the bumps should hit at full lock.

Lock stop
 
Yeah the lockstops are fine it will touch both without the airtubes, but now there all fitted, the left switch gear catches the tube, just before full left lock

Try undoing the handlebar clamp and making sure it's on the correct position - it may have been knocked at some point and moved it's way round the fork slightly.

If not that, maybe try taking the handlebar tube out and checking it's straight?
