Default Help: clutch and brake levers scratching fairings when maxed out

i have a problem on my new 04 cbr 600rr. the problem is that on my bike, when i turn all the way to the left or the right, the clutch and brake lever scratchs the top of the fairings. so im guessing the handle bars are too low, so is there a way to adjust it??

thanks

Along with adjusting the angle of the levers, you can adjust the angle of the clip-ons. You would need to loosen the bolts that hold on to the clip-on (typically two allen-type bolts). These are located near the triple tree. Only loosen them enough to rotate the clip-on. Most likely you need to rotate them in (towards the tank) a little bit.
