After looking at the pictures in that link, I'm liking behind the left saddlebag more and more.
I'll probably have to loose the chrome cover, but that's not a biggie since it's all hidden and out of sight.

Can't see that working out at all...............ground clearance is at a premium. Stick a horn under there and it's going to be problems for sure.

The horn in the factory hides the sensors and wiring for the EFI between the front and rear cyclinder. If the horn is relocated, you are looking in at the sensors and wiring.

I didn't think of the pulley vs. the rotor deal................might have to move to behind the right saddlebag.

How do you get enough access to under the battery box? The Mini-Beast is pretty big, so to squeeze it in, mount it, and have it secure would be tough without room to work.
