However, I wanted to easily be able to switch between the bike speakers and Bluetooth. All the installs I've seen of the Motochello Audio Bridge have the unit placed under the seat somewhere. I did not want to remove the seat whenever I wanted to switch between Bluetooth and speakers. So I started looking at places I could mount the Motochello unit and have easy access to it. So I decided to modify the left side Spring Strut Cover - that black triangular cover that pops right out. It's only a $22 part, so I didn't have any issue with modifying it.
I cut a rectangular hole in the cover with a Dremel tool, and then applied some 3M Dual Lock on the inside around the rectangle. I then placed the Motochello unit inside with the 3M dual lock holding it to the cover. It's not the cleanest job, but not bad I think, and most of all works as intended! I placed the SM10 at the rear of the bike, under the rear seat and just under the rear section cover.
