Default Shotgun switch mounting ideas

Just ordered my shotgun shock today and looking for some ideas as to where to mount the switches. I know most have mounted them by the horn and I have seen a few that mounted on the speedo housing, but I was wondering if anyone has tried something different?

Some people have put them on the coil cover on top. Others have put them by the front of the seat on the left side on a bracket.

I mounted mine on the back of the upper fork cover. If you look closely you'll see the two toggles (air suspension and headlight). I also mounted two small led lights there (oil and neutral lights).

Mine are on top of the horn, jim I like your location but Idon't have the coil there. I do want to move mine as I have hit them by accident and killed the battery once. When it's hot I have to push the compression releases in and bumped them.

Are the switches included in the kit? Any kind of mount? If not, what is a good source for a mount?

The switches and mount are included. The mount is meant to go above the normal horn side mount.
At first I think JD was installing or suggested you install them through holes drilled into the side of the dash console.
