Default Iron 883 PCV location

I just bought a power commander V and i can't figure out where to mount it. I have been told 2 places but I don't know which is better.
Can anyone help me out? With a picture please if its possible

Cheers

I will take photos for you later on

as I just got the conversion done temporarily I've sticked it to the tank using a double side tape and it's amazing.

The proper location will be using a GPS handle bar clips on to mount it there

I use an Akron ball mount and adaptor for the powervision and have it on the bars as shown below. The 17mm ball mount can also be used for a GPS, GoPro etc.

OP do you mean the PCV lcd or the boxed board. the box you can probably stuff under your seat.

theres just a void under your seat. pull it off and you'll see. you can run the wire down through the gaps.

there's crap under mine that will not be under yours, and depending on the year, the ecm ma or may not be where mine is below.

That's exactly what it is. When my bike goes on the stand with the back wheel in the air, I use it to pull the front brake on so the couldn't accidentally roll forwards.
