Fork no fit!?

[Guest]

Hello, when I bought my bike it had some Yamaha FZR forks, brakes, and wheels. After a little bit closer inspection, it doesn't look like the forks fit with my tank. I can turn the forks and hit the tank if I wanted to..

Someone tried to fix this by bolting on some tiny piece of metal on the fork that will hit the frame before the rest of the fork hits the tank.

I embedded a picture of the metal peice, I tried to highlight it..
My question is about if this is ok to do to the fork? It seems like there could be some sort of safety reason involved since I can't turn my fork all the way? And if this is something that is ok to do, what is a better way to stop the fork on the frame, because this little metel piece will not stop anything more than me turning the bars when I park.

I've seen ppl swapping forks before, the only reason to make them not turn all the way is to avoid hitting the tank. Especially when there's clipons on the bike that can easily damage the paint.

The piece of metal bolted to your yoke is a bit flimsy though, a proper stop welded to the frame is the usual good solution
