Default gas tank vent hose

I'm wondering where U guys like to position your vent lines? I got my '03 ec250 used, and it ran from the tank's cap, over the bars, and then down between the two radiators, where it was tied off to the frame downtube.
It was close enough to the exhaust's header area, that I didn't feel comfortable about it. I then ran it from the cap, over the bars, and down thru that little bracket on the steering column, behind the headlite. So now it's pointing directly over the front fender. Still not that happy with it.
In the past I've tried the shorty tank vent with the one way valve. I like the idea, but I've lost 3 or four of them. Someone mentioned to use super glue on them, but I sold that bike soon after doing that. Any suggestions on where to position a safe gas vent line? Thanks, Bob.
