Default Fork turning limits

I just noticed that my fork turns further to the left than right - only reason I noticed is my newly installed memphis shade trigger lock touches my tank when fully turnd to the left.
to the right there is about an inch room to spare.

Is there a stop to set for both directions?

no issues with wobble or hands free straight line riding.

Just take a closer look at the mounting kit. Although all four bushings look the same, there are actually two different pairs. I didn't notice when I fit mine, and so it was stiff to fit, and didn't fit symmetrically. Now I've realised my mistake, it goes on and off much smoother, and fits much better.

I was careful about that when I put them on - rechecked after your post and they are good.

I looked closer and its the fork - I can see the difference in the gap to the tripple tree
