I think the routing of brake lines on this new-to-me 2009 G650 xcountry is incorrect. The hard pipe with the 90 degree bend (from front lever, on the left in pictures) interferes with the "tank" cover, and it is not located between the locating/protective tangs. However, I can't simply rotate it clockwise to place it between the tangs, because the hose and top steering yoke would interfere with each other.
The curved piece welded to the headstock (above the hard pipe that comes from the rear brake) almost looks like it could be a guide for a brake line, though I don't know how it would work given the lack of clearance with the yoke.
I know the ownership history and suspect it may have been exactly like this from new. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has run into this, found it made putting the top plastic cover on difficult, and came up with a workaround or solution. Thank you.
