i would hide it if possible. maybe remove the pickup tube and flip the bottle upside down. hide it in the hump.

I have seen a 5# bottle in the swingarm of a busa, and a 5# bottle in the tail section of a ZX12, but never off the side. Thats a lot of weight to be hanging off the side. Why such a big bottle? A 2 or 2.5 pounder is good for easily a 100 shot.

I'm switching to a 5lb bottle soon. 2.5lb bottle just cant cut it. I just hate to put a cheap hanger bracket. I have a billet bracket now. might try to get this one machined

I have a 2.5lb on the side of mine. I have never been hassled by the cops. I thought of adding another 2.5lb to the other side, but I don't really need that much.
