Well, as the Valentine detects radar from behind as well in front, if you were to mount it on the tank your body would effectively block the rear facing antenna.
Secondly, it is best that the front antenna to have a clear "view" ahead. Radar (radio) waves can be reflected by metal, whereas the plastic body work presents less of a problem.
As to hearing the signal, I purchased the audio controller to allow the use of an earphone.
And lastly, it is easier to clean the sticky residue from the Brake Fluid Res. Cap than it would be to mar the beautiful paint.
My installation is nearly complete. I will give a full report after a week of commuting.
