    Thinking of getting a power commnader 5 for my RR8 and was wondering where is the the best place to fit it ???? Ideally I would like to keep under the pillion seat free for carrying wallet, phone etc..... is there any other places on the bike people have managed to mount a power commander ?

    Under the pillion seat or under the rider seat next to the battery if you have replaced it with a small Li-ion one.
    N.B. Under pillion seat gives easiest access for changing maps.

    Mine is same place but in a small padded tool kit bag. Not fixed down so just did that to avoid it clattering around, probably not needed though

    Cheers for the replies.

    The battery box with a smaller batttery installed is a very good idea

    I'm sure everyone will appear and tell you that a custom map is critical, but I'm using a downloaded map and couldn't be happier with it (I've had custom maps on other bikes, but I don't feel the need at all with this bike and map).

    I'm the same as JM1, using a downloaded map.
    tired a couple of different maps from various sites and found
    the PC download one for my exhaust felt the best.
    going to get a dyno run to see how it looks and if it isnt
    too far out I wont bother with a custom map.

    Tucked away under the pillion seat on my RR7.

    Also running a map from Dynojet's website, but I want to get two custom maps made up as I have a toggle switch fitted (baffle in/baffle out).
