It's easy to pinch the cable. It usually happens only once though. Good original cables are hard to find and expensive. There is a sweet spot that the cable must be in for it to be clear. Place the cable where you think it should be and then mount the left tank but as you are tightening the bolts, keep wiggling the cable to make sure it is not pinched. It's trial and error but if you are careful you won't crush the cable. Just don't tighten the bolts all the way until you are sure the cable is positioned properly. You may want to check your tank mounting tabs. It may be that they are bent and are allowing the tank to be drawn in too close to the frame. Good Luck and be careful!!
