MOT handlebar fouling

[P675]

Hello all, I've got a trackbike that I want to MOT. I've had to adjust things to get as much lock as possible. The handlebars don't touch the tank, but the brake and clutch levers touch the sides of the instrument cluster as seen in the pics. I cant move them any wider or higher. Is this still going to be a failure? Apart from this I just need a plate and a horn on it.

Thanks.

I've just found this actually:
A motorcycle must only be failed for insufficient reserve travel if the brake lever is touching the handlebar or the brake pedal is fouling another part of the motorcycle.

The levers don't actually get pressed down when they hit it. Clutch it's the pivot joint and brake is where the pipe joins the master cylinder.

I think it will fail.

From the Government website:

2.1.4. Steering operation
To inspect a motorcycle’s steering operation:

1: With the wheels supporting the weight of the motorcycle, turn the steering from lock to lock.
2: Check that any adjustable steering damper is released before failing a motorcycle for excessively stiff steering.

You can conduct a road test to determine if the stability or control is adversely affected. You must let the motorcycle presenter know if the damper is released during the test.

Defect - Category
(a) Steering linkage fouling any part of the motorcycle - Major
(b) Handlebar fouling on the fuel tank or bodywork on full lock - Major
(c) Restriction in the movement of the handlebars from lock to lock - Major
(d) A steering damper which is:
(i) insecure or ineffective - Major
(ii) in such a condition that the steering action is adversely affected - Dangerous
(e) Any fairing or leg shield impeding steering operation - Major

Adjust the lock stops??

Just stick a self-tapper in the lock stop for the MoT. Take it out once the test is done.

The lock stops have quite a bit to go before they would stop normally, I guess I'll have to find something large to replace them.

The usual "easy fix" would be to glue a couple of rubber bungs to somewhere suitable - i.e. lock stops on frame or forks.

Bits of self adhesive wheel weight stuch to the lock stops work nicely.
