Default Maybe Not So Quick Question?

2017 Heritage - I installed lever covers and now the clutch lever won't pull in far enough to engage the safety switch. The bike starts fine in neutral but I would rather "adjust" the safety switch if possible? Is this an adjustable or fixed part?

I had the same problem on my 2015 Heritage. The HD tech spotted the problem right away. I have HD grips that were slightly larger than stock and leather covers on the levers. Tooks the covers off and all was good.
There is no standard adjustment of the clutch safety switch that I know of.

I just bypassed mine. That damn thing is annoying, not nearly enough tolerance in it.
