Default Fatboy - Fuel tank vent line routing

Had taken apart my Fatboy for upgrade, cannot figure out how to route the Fuel Tank vent line from the tank to the stanchion (placeholder). My mistake should have marked it before removing. Could anyone help, the Service Manual is not of much use either.

Yes, the fuel tank vent line coming off the front of the tank and going towards the rear winding up at the electrical panel at the stanchion.

If I remember correctly it goes under the tank but does not need to go through the channel with all the wires. Since it is pre bent there is really only one way it can go.
