Default Air compressor location

Any body know a good place to mount an air compressor on 2011 SG? i dont have room in side panel due to ABS and wont fit in fairing due to amp already above radio. i pulled battery and didnt see anywhere to mount under there. its viar 92 i think, i dont have it in front of me so cant be sure of model. ivev looked all over and coming up blank and trying to prevent puutting in saddle bag. thought id see what you guys think. where does the arnott kit mount the compressor?

I welded a bracket onto the right saddlebag support behind the shock.
