Rd400 clip ons and tank dents

[rd400greenhorn]

Hi guys
Without cutting the frame, Does Any one have a idea for the problem i have.
My clip ons hit the tank when turned fully to Esther either side, which is a problem.

And no, the clip ons, Stay on ;D

Drill and tap a small hole in the stops on the lower triple and use the head of a small screw or bolt to limit the travel.

That Could actually work..

This might be a silly question, but can't you just rotate the clip-ons forward enough to not contact the tank at full lock?
I have clip-ons as well, and they don't hit the tank.

Racers used to do that, it works.

I usually weld up the stops on the lower triple tree.
Most of the time I have it off for upgrade to taper head bearing and paint, but the small drill and tap works well too.
Some riders don't have long arms and like the clip ons in closer and will hit a stock tank.
