Default Fork baffle chrome half moon looking thingy
Has anybody installed one of these fork baffles on a newer SG with ABS?
I tried installing one on my bike today and the baffle was rubbing the two aluminium elbows on the brake lines. Over time I could see this rubbing a hole in the brake line elbows. Anybody else notice this? What did you do to fix this?

Don't recall having an issue with mine on a Ltd, but will take a look and see if there is any contact.

Assume you are referring to fork air baffle :
