Default SKS Shockboard used on a Cannondale Lefty

Has anyone experience clearance problems when mounting a SKS Shockboard on a
Cannondale Jekyll Lefty.

I installed the special Lefty adapter and mounted the fender. I let the air
out of the shock and compressed it all the way and found it would contact
the fender right at the mounting location.

Seems to me if I bottom out the shock it may be instant brakes for a split
second before the shock rebounds.

Anyone else riding with this setup with or without problems?

I'm using that setup... and I've bottomed once or twice without
destroying anything... makes a funny noise.... put some more
air/preload if you are bottoming that easily.
