There should be room to mount it under the battery tray as well.

That looks identical to the Viair compressor. I have the mount from JNR Designs which mounts it to the saddlebag support on the right side of the bike between the wheel and the bag. Two years and no issues.

I mounted mine under the battery tray (too the bottom). Lots of room.
