Default Amplifier hiding spot

The amp is 1.5 x2.5 x4 inches. Looking for ideas on where to hide it. Pics are helpful. Bike is a 2010 deluxe.

This is where I have mine. Its stored inside the triple tree covers behind the headlight. I am running UNiQ Cycles System. I have the Nacelle Headlight now which provides more room but originally it was in the stock triple tree covers and it fit fine.

Ryan the uniq amp has a flash drive to load music on. How hard is it to get to it once its in there? You and I spoke on facebook the other day. i like the speaker location you used just looking for alternate spots for the amp.

I don't change my sd card often as I use it as worst case scenario... I use my phone for music which is all connected through Bluetooth and controlled from a Bluetooth handlebar remote..

As for alternative spots to hide it you are limited. My dad has his in the saddle bag, others have bought triple tree bags and put it in there. Most amps are too big to put under the seat unless you get one of those expensive compact batteries to free up the extra space.

@pipeyeti - if the amp you are using has a standard USB port for the flash drive, you might be able to plug in a short, maybe 6" USB extension cable (male/female) and run that out to the opening in the back of the triple tree covers for easy access. Maybe put a piece of velcro just inside the triple tree cover that you can attach the USB stick to while riding.

Good idea. I will investigate this and see what I can do with it.
