Default Switch location options

Hey installed the good ole RS siren alarm yesterday and all went well but I like the idea of putting toggle switch on it to turn the actual alarm sound on and off. I am not crazy about drilling holes in inner fairings or saddle bags and tour paks but was wondering if anyone else out there had some good suggestions. I also did the garage door opener mod and it works awsome but need to mount that somewhere too. I was thinking of going out the side of the counsole for that one like my RKC used to be. Anyone have some good suggestions for the two?

Make a plate to mount the switches to, then mount it on the frame in front of the battery cage. On your right above the starter and tranny. That way you just drop your hand and switch.

Yea thanks for the input I was looking for creative stuff like this to see if something will work. Have you done this yourself or just seen it done?

I have to ask, you installed an audible siren for security reasons but now you want to shut it off.................

If this is an alarm, most perp's will have looked her over before they touch her. concealed but accessible may be in fornt of the battery, between the plastic thigh heat shields.

I'll take a look at the location you guys mentioned and see if I can fab some kind of plate as suggested. Sometimes I am at a house or event where I just don't want the siren on. This is mainly at friends or somewhere I don't want to leave the key fob on the bike.
