Default where to mount heated gear controller?

First HOG ride is this Sunday, it'll be just above freezing when I have to roll out (Spring in Canada). So I dug out the heated gear - vest and gloves.

I used to hook the controller to my jacket, but hated all the wires hanging around, so I was looking for someplace to mount the thing.

I came up with the wires tucked under the tank bracket, cable tied into place. But maybe someone has a better idea?

Nice! I don't have a dash though. I wonder if I could get away with using a magnetic tank bag of some sort?

Captain Itch makes a magnetic leather holder that works perfect for this. I can post a pic later if you can't find what I'm talking about on his site.

on the back you can unscrew it and screw in a magnet or you just epoxy a magnet to the back. make sure you then line it with felt

Really? I'll look at it. That might be ideal.
