a good place for me would be the struts on the back of the bike(where your rear fender and blinkers are mounted) this will give you a flat surface to drill into...its also a good size peice so you have some room to make a good clean mount.

I keep mine in my leather fork bag. If you clip it on a mounting plate, it will rattle.
