Mine stays in the left compartment, I pretty much know where to set it before I roll, so minimal adjusting. Heated gear is the best money I have ever spent in motorcycling bar none!

Why not put it on the clutch hydraulic reserve lid? thinking velco. Could you take a pic of it?

You can see in this picture, both the outlet, by the seat (though next time the seat comes off this may move down under my left leg) and the controller. I moved the white line to up for off, mounted the velcro to the frame under that cover. Has stayed put, and works nicely!Attachment 10964
I have a Tourmaster MobileWarming heated jacket which is battery operated. I use this for short rides or just out and about. The controller is built into the battery, which stays in my jacket pocket.
I also have a Tourmaster Synergy 2.0 heated vest. When used, this vest gets plugged into the bike. I routed the power from the accessory port next to the battery. I have the power cable coming out toward the rear the left side panel and seat. The plug is secured through the helmet lock so it doesn't fly around or scratch the paint. As for the controller, I clip mine to my belt on the left side so i can easily adjust the temperature. There is another option to clip it on the left leg with the provided velcro strap.

2Kewl, When I had my Victory Cross Country, I used to run my CB headset plug between my seat and gas tank like your setup for your heat gear. After a while, the plug scuffed the gas take due to constant rubbing. Victory's paint has a clear coat and is not nearly as soft as our F6B. So I would just use caution...maybe lay some 3M paint protection film in that area under the plug.

Thanks for the insight. No rubbing so far, but yes was planning on moving it, and will look for a spot that has a bit more room - both so it doesn't rub, and so that I can tuck in away when not in use.
Years back when I first had heated gear I also had multiple bikes I had a velcro strip on my coldweather riding pants that I would stick the controller on. That way only one wire to unplug when getting off the bike.
BUT more recent, for my Valk and the F6B I spent the money and wired in the permanent Controller and plug.
