| Hi Lee, the top yoke should not hit the steering damper mount.
Mine did this at new and the solution was a new top yoke as ducati suspected mine had been machined out of line.
This also had the effect of making the damper rub on my tank!
Take it back mate and tell them it is not right.
John Tailforth at Ducati Uk instructed them to change the top yoke on mine so he must have seen this before. If you get no joy i would ring ducati uk and ask for him.
Hope you get sorted mate
