BOV -- how do you route the LP hose?

I purchased a Golem Gear BOV for my Optima, and I wonder what the best way for routing the LP hose is. The BOV has a swivel (and also a QD, but I guess that's not relevant for the question). I want to connect it to the on-board bail-out. (I read that many connect it to the off-board bailout, and perhaps I'll do this some day, too, but for now, I want to keep it on the on-board bailout.)

With my first attempt, I simply routed a 30' LP hose from the dil manifold that is included with the FX, through the left hole in the Rebreather backplate, under the left CL shoulder strap, and then over the CLs to the BOV. However, it is very hard for me to turn my head with this configuration, especially to the left. Are there better ways? Does anyone have a picture of their BOV hose routing?
