Ok, so if I turn my handlebars all the way to the right, the forks hit their limit and don't turn any further, nothing bumps anything. However, if I turn them all the way to the left, the right mirror smacks into the windshield and prevents reaching the forks' limit to the left.

I spoke to a guy on YouTube who has a bunch of videos riding one of these and he says that his does the same thing and he thinks they're probably all like that.

So I'd like to ask if anyone else with an old cop KZ has the same problem... or if it's just a coincidence that the only other person i've talked to about it that has one also has the same problem.

The bike rides straight and all, so i don't think it's triple tree, fork, or frame damage.
KZs I own
1982 KZ750-H3 LTD (frame's bent, no longer rideable, RIP)
1982 KZ1100 LTD Shaft (thought it was a Spectre)
1988 KZ1000 Police
1989 KZ1000 Police (basket case)
2002 KZ1000 Police

Non-KZs:
1983 Hondamatic 450
2001 Honda Rebel
