Clutch lever problems

I am not sure if I can explain this but I will give it a shot. I am having problems with my TrackMagic clutch lever hitting the fairing supports when I turn the steering wheel. If I move the lever closer to the wheel, I don't have enough travel to disengage the clutch. The only option I see right now is to let it hit and slip on the aluminum spacer (or bushing)that it between the lever and the steering shaft.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe,
Everytime I have wanted to angle the drivers fairing different from the factory location I have had to modify both supports. I cut the supports in the middle and slice in a 2" piece. Not everyone has a welder available to them so you can also use some small bolts. I have used M6's (one on each end)and M5's (2 on each end)to do this. It won't look as nice but it works. One bit of advice....if your mounting a DRACK or something with some weight to it, stay away from aluminum, been there, tried that several times and always end up with the fairing laying on my leg within 2 races.

This will allow you the room needed for the clutch lever. You may want to double check your cable adjustment just for the heck of it...
