Brake Controller Mounting Options?

Are most you guys going with the brake controller just under the dash, like below the cup holders? Any other options or slick locations any one used?

Clay, quick question about your two gauges. They look like they are raised and/or tilted to the driver. Are they, or is it just the shadow from the camera flash? Thanks,

There are angle rings that tilt them up and towards the driver slightly so you can see the entire gauge face. You might be able to see them better on the web site 650 dash page. I painted them to match the dash on mine, but don't like how they came out so unless requested I leave them black.

I do not understand how to post a pic yet, but since i do not want to drill any holes.....
I utilize a factory support at the bottom edge of the dash near the fuel pedal.

Mine was mounted below my cb which is mounted in the cubby hole. Seems to work fine, just is a bit of a reach sometimes because I have short arms haha. But only have to reach to check once per start up so thats fine.

Mine is mounted just under the cubby as well. Pretty close. I would maybe mount it a bit higher towards the cubby bc I will hit it getting in sometimes. Easy to reach, but I use my manual quite a bit when pulling tractors...it's just fun.
