Default Front Braided Brake Line Routing

Could you guys post a pic or two of how your RK braided front brake cable is routed. I'm installing apes and not sure how I want to route the line from the cylinder to the new collector. It can go a bunch of different ways (inide or outside the nacelle etc.). Saw some good threads but none that show the brake line routing. Cant tell from pics on www.wild1inc.com either. 12.5" Wild1 mini apes.... whoo hoo

Mine run thru the nacelle, basically the way it did stock. I have some extra lenth that I was able to hide under the nacelle. My lines are un-coated, so I ran it thru a piece of plastic wire loom where the line goes in the nacelle to keep it from rubbing.

i'm a firm believer that harely has done extensive testing to figure out the optimum routing for the cables and wiring harnesses. i'm not gonna try to outthink them. but if i find a routing that i prefer over their way, screw it, that's how i'm gonna do it. honestly though, closest to stock routing will take into account, travel, slack necessary to turn lock to lock, suspension travel, and the variables.
