I ran into the same issue although mine was a caused by my radiator being
out of alignment with the bike after dumping it on the right side last
summer. I got the radiator lined back up, but the hoses still touch, so I
just pushed it down a bit. I plan on finding some rubber sheet stuff to
stick betweent the radiator hoses and the frame slider. The big hose from
the top of the radiator also touches the frame slider on my bike. Not a lot
of pressure, but it touches.
