No, it just needs to be clamped under the neck of the frame, on the lower tree, instead of on the back of the tins I think. If it is touching your fender it will wear the paint off clean in a short amount of time.

It's nice that you took the time and effort to do it yourself but man all of those lines are definitely too long. I'm sure that's causing the binding or slow return of the throttle, there's too much resistance building inside all of that excess cable housing. And yes, that brake line will definitely wear a nice groove through your fender paint!

I tried the stock throttle cable, definitely too short.
