If you look on the bottom of the lower triple-clamp, near the center,
you'll see 2 steering stops that contact a frame lug when you turn the
forks all the way to lock.
You can sleeve a piece of hose over these, or use some other method to
make them larger(thicker), so they contact the frame lug earlier, so
as to not let the Ace bars hit the tank.
I put a piece of hose over each steering stop, and also a piece over
the frame lug, and it worked out fine. You can play around with
different methods to see what works for you.
