HEL Rear brake line - Fouls exhaust

Hi,
I have a HEL rear brake line on my NC29, however it is not such a perfect fit.
The brake line from the caliper does not neatly follow the lines of the swingarm and rubs / fouls on my exhaust.
Anyone else noticed this?

Quick pic...
I do have an aftermarket exhaust system which may have reduced clearance, the angle on the banjo means I cannot adjust the kink.

Pretty sure the banjo is wrong at the calliper end - few years back Goodridge had the same problem - so myself and PDQ got this all re designed with the correct ends.
The standard Honda 29 calliper banjo is an odd one with an upturn and kink at the same time - bit difficult to desribe.
We try and keep the correct Goodridge ones in stock.
BTW have you tried reverse fitting it - not sure if you have the type where the banjos can rotate inside their crimps to aid fitting.
Hope that helps.

Can you pull the hose up through the middle clamp a bit, so there is more hose in the master cylinder half and less in the caliper half?
