I just looked at mine, one of my studs seems to be driven into the upper fork as well. Now do I fuss with it or leave it be.........

 

Are you missing the "Skirt Outer Fairing" #20 that would space the bolt out more?

 

Yes, there are all in place.

It's in place, but obviously not in the pic I posted.

All 4 of these studs go through plastic trim before they thread into the triple trees. I'm guessing the lower 2 squished the trim piece enough to get into the upper fork pipe.

I trimmed off an eighth or so and checked it with an inspection mirror with all parts in place. All good now.

As a side note, while getting the seal repaired in Montana last year the tech showed me the runout on the upper pipe and it was out of spec. When I bought rebuild kits last week I bought 2 new ones, so I should be in good shape for a while.

 

It shouldn't hurt anything, and if you're not hearing the spring rattle around in there I wouldn't worry about it until next rebuild.
