850L forks hit tank at full lock

[Guest]

Dad bought a suzuki gs850L only problem left to fix is the forks hit the tank and I can't figure out why or what's missing.

Hard to see what's going on there. Are you sure the two forward tank support rubbers are still in place ?

[Gs1000g]

Can you show me where these go and what they look like?

if you mean the rubber unset the gas tank then yes they are there

Well I've studied your pictures and been out and had a look at my own bike and can't see what the problem is.

if you remove the tank, do the bump stops butt up against the frame on full lock?

It looks like the tank is either too high or too far forward or a mixture of both. The gap between the side panel and the bottom of the tank looks way to big. I would take it off and make sure it goes back properly. In particular the pair of 2" diameter rubbers at the front are located in the semicircular recesses in the tank. It looks like the tank is sitting on top of them.
The tank looks to have shifted between the times the images in the first and second posts were taken.

Might be the forks from another year, with different lock-stops.

actually I got to looking and the PO cut the stops I welded some nuts back on them gave them 1.4 inch more height and no more issue thanks, for the input
