Default Samson True Duals shift rod rub

Posted this on softail forum but thought I would try here too.

Shift rod for new samson pipes seemd to be rubbing the engine case on the deluxe.
We are installing and hubby doesn't see a way to get it adjusted not too.

Advice??

The installation fo True Duals requires a bent shift rod to accomodate the pipes coming over to that side. Looks like we have it it set right just looks awful close.

Now I have to figure out what to do with the passenger pegs.....
