I attached mine to the LH handlebar where it attaches to the top triple
clamp. Used a longer bolt and a spacer to do it. No interference with
tank bags, fairings, or ignition key. If I adjust it properly, I can
still see the tach and the speedo. But like Kevin, I use the speedo on
the GPS. I do believe it's more accurate.
