This is what I was talking about. You can see the chafe tape I put on thebcable itself, unfortunatly that part that was rubbing is now prevented from passing through that metal, so I've only relocated the area that will chafe. But it's that metal clamp in the photo..Picture?
I have noticed that the silver flat washer thing with the slot in it constantly comes lose up where the cable goes through up next to the lever.
That's the lock nut that keeps the cable adjustment from moving. Mine comes loose too. Triumph needed to use a finer thread on that adjustment. You can wrench it, but then adjustment on the road!Picture?

You can simply remove that little bracket and loop.I also now noticed the chaffing issue in the same spot on the clutch cable, ~3000 miles now. Doesn't seem like anyone has come up with a good fix yet?
I have the high bars and the longer cable does need some support.I removed the clamp on mine altogether. Looks better too! Easy fix.
No more chaffing, cable does rest against the lamp bit, but doesn't do any damage to it.
I did this before the chaffing got bad, so I don't need a new cable on warranty. My Triumph dealer/mechanic says it's better that way too. It has enough support.
If you're fitting different handlebars, that little clamp may be more useful, but with the standard bars I see no use for it.

I had the same problem on mine, clutch cable + guide changed under warranty but with same parts => same issue will happen again.
I did put some tape around the guide to avoid the cable to be destroyed again.
