Okay. When dropping the gauges where do you mount it?

When remounting it, try to keep it in a similar (somewhat sheltered) location.

Disclaimer: here comes poor advice.

I zip tied it to the other wires it is near upfront. Hasn't caused me any issues, likely not the brightest mounting place either.

1 year and 15k miles with a few days of sitting/riding in the rain. It is completely exposed from above as I have a speedymoto top triple.

Cool well that sounds easier than what I've been thinking lol. Would under the tank work?

No you need to mount it in a air 'neutral' position where heat/fumes can not interfere with the sensor.

I'm having to same problem so where to hide it because I want a tidy front!

I was thinking of extending the wires and tucking it near the seat area.

Yeah cause I'm spending the time to organize all of my wires and I can't think of a place to put it. You have a good idea tho. I might try that. I have plenty of spare wire hanging around
