Default Clutch cable routing

Had it routed like the previous cable but when I turn full left it is getting pinched at neck.



Where its rubbing. Any other routing ideas. I want to keep it close to factory routing. Maybe i missed something

Mine is going like yours, In front of the frame, behind the crash bar. When I went to full lock turn left the bolt head holding the cowbell started cutting the clear sheathing on the clutch cable. I tie wrapped it up to wire loom holder you circled. now it doesn't get cut.
