Under your seat would be the obvious place.

Depends on the bike but I would say maybe under the tank if there is room.

Would also say under the seat. What bike have you got?

True, but on a lot of naked bikes, under the tanks going to be entirely visible / reachable?

Here's a good place to put it:

On a more serious note, perhaps under the pillion seat or tucked into the plastic beside that? From what I remember, cyclones have to be flat don't they? I had one in a previous bike.

If you don't want it under the seat, behind one of the fairings is probably the only other place. Can't imagine there is much room at the front though, so would have to be at the rear.

somewhere hidden, behind as much stuff as you can. Under tank or inside fairing is a good one.

You've got more chance disturbing the bike trying to get under the seat than behind the fairing. All they really need to do with a Cyclone is snip the power to the battery.
