It works fine as it is now.

Same on my xs650, everyone told me something must be bent but there is absolutely no sign of damage so I did the same and jb welded on a shim.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I too fixed a small washer to the left side stop on my 400 so the aftermarket headlamp bracket cleared the tank.
Interestingly it is also affected by how far the tank fits on the front rubbers - I lubricated my new rubber front mounts with some red rubber grease on the U part on the tank where the mounts fit.
This gave me some forwards & backwards movement if I wanted the tank to rest a tad further back as the rear mount has some flexibility as to where it rests.

I have just been in the garage and had a look at mine. Original frame, tank, bars etc., and if there was any more movement on the steering the first part to touch the tank would be the top yoke.

If it's any help??
