450RT cable routing

Howdy folks,
I'm looking for the correct routing of the decompression cable on my 450RT. The obvious rout seems odd as it pokes the cable way out from the engine. I looked at google images for a bit but can't see the details when I blow up the images. Any pictures or insight is appriciated.
Cheers, G

I had the same problem. So I routed the cable through the cylinder fins and behind the bevel tower. Then attached the cable from the rear of the plunger. I use bog standard bicycle brake housing (of which I have probably 50 meters) so, yes, the heat from the cylinder will do a number on the outer casing of the cable. But it's hardly visible and the decomp lever works just fine and there isn't a cable sticking way out on the right side of the bike. All that said, I race my RT in AHRMA MX and that decomp assembly sits in a precarious spot. It could easily get snapped off on a tumble. So if you have the option, try and crash on the left side of the bike.

I can post a pic shortly.
