Default Routing clutch/brake lines on new handlebars

You guys that have installed taller aftermarket handlebars on your Road Glides, how did you route the stock hydraulic lines from behind the gauge cluster out to the handlebars? Did you go out from the sides of the cluster housing and up the bars, under the bars then up? Any pics? The pic here shows the two places I'm referencing.

How tall are the bars? I ran mine just like the were stock on a set of 14s. Did you pull the extra slack on the cables?

I installed 14" factory 47s, and i cut two zip ties under the gauge cluster holding hydraulic lines down. that's all i could find to help pull some slack. i have the lines running out of the sides of the gauge cluster (top red circle in my pic above) currently. just curious if this is the best option!

Here’s how I ran mine. Zip ties right where they come out from under the gauge cluster to keep them from rubbing on the plastic.
