Onboard Air - Tank install

just installed my onboard air setup using an aircon compressor and installed a dash switch giving power to the pump via a pressure switch.
i have a 9l tank and was just doing some mock fitups on the zook. the tank is about a cm too big to fit under the bonnet on the passenger side.. so i was thinking maybe installing it under the zook (hangs down about an inch under the chassis rail), or inside up the back and mounting it off the side panels next to the speaker, run the air hose up through the fuel filler grommet.
any thoughts? will take pics this arvo and test it a bit more.

also thinking of a kind of idle up control like the bicycle throttle lever but not sure how to set it up.. something for the future i guess.

u will need a idle up if it is like mine.

i have the auto kickdown bracket still there so going to use that on mine to a bike lever or similar.

yeh thinking of installing it to the transfer lever as it wont be needed all that much.
or maybe a old manual choke style cable etc? would look neater and less obvious..
