I really hate you all (the mods have begun)

I drilled round holes on the bulges on mine check you might like the design if you do not want to cut the BC

Gothlander has stepped his bearclaw away from the tank , that would stop the 3rd filter getting de-formed im guessing. Maybe he will chirp up and give the details on how he went about the modification.

To prevent the rear of the R3T bearclaw from deforming the rear filter you can make a small bracket with two adjacent holes. Remove the rubber grommet from the stock mounting point and insert in one of the holes in your bracket. Using the adjacent hole, bolt the bracket to the hole you removed the grommet from. Then attach the bearclaw to the bracket.

The only problem with this approach is that you will have a gap between the bearclaw and the gas tank. Its only really visible from above, but it could be an issue in the rain.

I ran mine that way for awhile until I worked up the nerve to start hacking away at the bearclaw.
