Default routing clutch cable for low bars

i switch my handle bars from 11" apes to 2" rise tracker bars on stock risers. i cut throttle cables and soldered new farrels and went well but i am having trouble figuring a good way to route the clutch cable. i plan to shorten the cable as needed but before i can do that i need to figure out where to rout it. ive been playing with it forever now just marking a line and holding the cable up to the clutch lever but every way i try the slack of the cable always hits something "frame,tank" when turning to the right. pictures would be great if anyone is running low bars and low risers that kind of shows where the cable is routed.
