Clutch cable/exhaust pipe contact

[dentheman]

While cleaning up my Shadow I found the clutch cable is routed under the exhaust pipe near the front cylinder and touches the pipe, so the cable housing has melted. I believe this is a safety concern and I will stop by the dealer tomorrow. I want to look at some other used and new Shadows to see if the cable is routed the same, and to hear what the dealer has to say.

If I see the other bikes have the same problem, I will contact the NHTSA.
