Hi. I've done the same installation and have the same problem. The left brake and clutch cable is hitting the speedometer and it's so tight when turning to the right that I can't turn completely. Did your fix work, and worked even with your bar raisers. Do you have any more pics of this fix or any pointers. If I understand it correctly I have to lift of my tank?
Sounds a bit scary.
Alas, I had to ditch the bar risers - I couldn’t get enough slack in the clutch cable. Maybe it’s possible if you tear more of the bike apart to re-route the cable. Someone else mentioned rotating the bars forward to get the slack for the risers. It might work, but the bars will be further away which may negate the additional height. After a few runs I decided I was ok with the handlebar height and never tried the rotating them.
The cable originally ran through the clip at the yellow arrow. You can see I pulled much of the slack out as the cable is now tucked under a bit more. I had to lift the tank to get to cut some zip ties preventing me from pulling the slack out of the cable (you can see in the second picture where the cable is tucked under the tank).
I only had to lift the tank, not take it completely off. I think it was easier to life the tank from the front (remove a couple bolts in the front of the tank, loosen one in the back) for easier access to the zip ties I needed to cut. Lifting the tank was fairly easy ... only made somewhat challenging
by my lack of foresight to do the work on a low tank.
The cable is tight with the handlebars turned all the way to the right, but not so much that I’m afraid I’ll damage the cable. I’ve put a few hundred miles on the bike this way without any issues.
