Default where do those cicrcuit breakers go??

I'm almost done with putting my 75 back together, but I need to finish the wiring. Question is where do you guys have your circuit breakers mounted. When I got the bike last year they were taped and jammed in the battery box. I bought a bracket from j&p to hold them but can't figure where to put them. Any ideas or pics would be great. Thanks in advance and keep those irons alive.

Mine are mounted to the rear fender under the seat, down between the battery and oil tank (but mine's an '83).

If it ain't broke, don't fix it (especially if you don't know what you're doing). Most Sportster problems are owner-induced.
