Default Air ride switch ??

Getting ready to add air ride to my 2013 road king. For the ones that have already done this to their bikes where did you mount the switch?
Pictures please , thanks

For toggle switch horn cover, switch panel on inner fairing, frame under seat. I chose this route.

No pic, but I just did 3 air ride setups.
First one I used the Harley bag lock switch in the dash, works good.
Second one I used the clutch perch mounted rocker switch. easier location than the dash.
Third one, My bike, I tied into the PTT switch on the left side switch bank.
This was the most involved setup, but all looks factory and works great.

2013 Road King? Didn't know it came with electric saddle bags... How about the back of the Headlight Nacelle - drill a hole or replace the aux switch if you don't plan on using that any time
