    You can re-route, a few people have done on here.

    I've just done mine with some spanking braided hoses.

    I've had to move mine as the plastic thing started rubbing on the belt.

    I've taken that off and routed them over the top of the engine for the time being. You should be able to do the same as a temporary measure.

    I need to get some longer fuel lines though and route them properly!

    I did a 2Live and re-routed mine after one rubbed away. One goes up behind the exhaust heatshield and in by the accelerator cable, the other comes up behind the brake master cylinder and then up the wing behind the PAS reservoir before heading across.

    Make sure, if you do this, that you rag the plastic routing guide out that sits above the belts. Mine was loose and had one all the way through at one end!
