Default Dash Panel Mount for PV Tuner

I was wondering if anyone has tried to mount the Power Vision tuner on the center end of the dash panel rather that on the bar? I was thinking of drilling a single hole or if there was a clip that would slide on? On the Heritage there is plenty of depth on the one end. I want a symmetrical look so the gauge lines up with the speedo, hate to get into the bar riser cover/nacelle part.

Just wondering, other than while tuning the bike why would you want to mount the tuner on the bike?

Sure it shows some neat performance stuff but do you really need or ever want to see that stuff all the time?

I suppose to each his own but I would just mount it on the handle bars until I got the right tuning then I'd disconnect it and put it in the tool box until I needed an update.

I'm sure it can be done somehow, but I have never scene one mounted like that.... it looks like a cool location if you wanted it mounted all the time.... be creative, you could be the first!

I just put mine in a pocket or strap it to the seat strap in a pouch when I'm tuning, other than that mine is in the shop drawer...

It can show a lot of information, & instead of enjoying my ride, I was always looking at the head temps, especially while stopped, mpg, flipping back and forth between screens etc, etc, had to get it off my bars when I was done tuning & get back to the joy of riding.

I'm an information junkie and like it visible all the time. I like it on the handlebars though so I'm not taking my eyes off the road to ck things out. I use it's speedo and tack which for whatever reason reads closer to the correct speed than what's on the bike. To each their own
