Bag mounted. Looks good is nicely sized for daily commuting, doesn't get in the way at all and holds wallet, ez-pass, glasses, cell phone. Map window is a little small and I find the angle to not be quite right for running the GPS in there.

My own built heat shield and tool tube mounting: (Because I can't weld and can be cheap sometimes)
