Default FP3 Breakout Placement

The only place I have been able to place the FP3 is under the seat. Not sure if anyone has found a way to place it anywhere else. Just wondering if it can get damaged being there when I'm riding? Anyone run into an issue with it under the seat?

It should be fine there, people have been leaving piggyback tuners under there for years. If you intend to leave it for a long time, I would put some velcro on it and stick it to something so it cannot bounce around under there.

I found there was just enough room on a Slim to tuck it right alongside the battery, vertically...

Will take a look at the space on battery. I like the fact that if left in can use it to monitor real time.
