Default Braided clutch cable help !!

Hello all, Put 10" Yaffe bars on my 2012 SG with LA Choppers plus 6 braided lines.Routed it the same way as the factory cable was (as we know the braided is a lot stiffer) can't get the cable to fit in the clutch perch the right way (keeps pulling down).Don't want to put a cable bracket on the bars, but getting frustrated with the cable not sitting flat on the perch. Anyone have any problems with this or any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you ...

You can try and turn the clutch perch down towards the tank. Other than that make sure your cable is routed correctly. +6 should be plenty long enough.

Good luck
