During the installation of BarkBuster Handguards, during which I followed the manufacturer's instructions to the letter, I can find no way to prevent the clutch cable from making contact with the lower mounting bracket, causing a slight kink in the cable (see second photo). The cable does not seem to be binding at all, and the kink is relatively mild, but I can see it's scuffing the cable cover from the mere contact pressure. Short of moving the handguard support bracket down at a weird angle (currently it's set horizontal to the ground per the instructions - see photo #1), I'm at a loss as to what else I can do except live with it. I have wrapped the cable at the contact point with electrical tape, but would like to know if others who have installed this handguard on their bike have encountered the same issue. Thanks. (If it's showing each photo twice like it did on my preview page, I'm sorry about that - not sure why it is).
