What is the best place to mount a quick release fire extinguisher? I has seen under seat mounts, Roll Cage mounts, and flat mounts. The rear drive shaft tunnel would be good, but i doubt it would be easily reachable when harnessed in with a helmet on. The under seat makes since...What are you guys doing?

I like them in the center console area. Some place you can reach it quickly and potentially with limited motion.
And don't do what we did at the 24 hours of lemons and drill through the fuel line when mounting the fire extinguisher (the person piloting the drill assumed we hit a heat shield and drilled straight through the EFI fuel line).

At least you didn't drill a hole into the gas tank trying to relieve the trunk of some water from a leaking rear glass area.
