handle bars turn too far to left broken steering post "stops"??

[White Rad]

When turning the bars to the left, after the steering arms hit the stops on the spindles, my steering post keeps turning. Once it went almost 1/4 turn past where the skis stopped and pushed/flexed the steering support hoop back towards the gas tank in an ugly way. After checking bulkhead and steering post everything looks intact but I see part # 7 is called a "steering post stop". It looks like the coller/bushing on the bottom of the steering post has notches that are supposed to hit the stops on part #7 to keep the post from turning too far.

So does your post hit the stops and anybody have pictures? Something is tweaked on mine and i can't figure out what.....

no 7 should have nothing (or, very little) to do with it, the stops on the spindles will stop you unless you have something wrong. Have you looked at the nut (#10) on the bottom of your bulkhead/tunnel? If it came off your steering could still feel kinda normal but would over-spin when it hit the stop.

I'm sure there are other places that could cause this, but I have a 3/16 plate on the top of my bulkhead (under #7) to avoid the cracking problem & mine comes loose from time to time. This also happens on my racer pretty often & causes the same problem.

Check #14 the long tube that i think you could call a tie rod. Bent mine and if my ski's were strait my handle bars were off to the left. It also had a hard time turnin to the left.
