Default Turn Signal Kit and PCIII - Enough Room for Both?

I just installed the turn signal kit on mine. As an afterthought I was wondering if anyone has both devices installed. It looks like sharing the space will be challenging. Thanks.

I have both the turn signal module and a FuelPak installed under my seat.

I figured someone had both. Thanks for the info.

Love having the rear running lights and the red lenses look great against the red paint.

I must be doing something wrong then. I can't get that mess to fit under the seat of my 08 FB Anniversary model to save my a$$. I don't know if its because the seat is different or what....
As of now, I have the connector hiding under the left seat flap, and the FuelPak inside the left saddlebag. Never had this problem with my 05 FB. All I know is that the routing suggested by V+H will not work on my bike. Suggestions or pictures would help.

It depends on how you lay it out and what kind of seat you have. I have a low cut custom seat and there is like ZERO room under there, it actually sits on the fuse box.

My bike had the turn signal kit when I bought it. I fit it and the power commander under the stock seat. I finally took the turn signal kit out, because I didn't like it.

I see you have an 03 model. I had no problems with my 05 FB, since the unit fit into a cup underneath the CPU. Apparently there is no room between the fender and the tire on the 200 mm tire models for a cup now. I have the stock seat for the 105th model, and there is zero room under there for this mess. I laid it out according to their instructions; no dice. I raised the issue to V+H, they said they send it over to the tech boys, but haven't heard squat since. I'd like to be able to strip the bike down to bar-hopping nakedness once in awhile, but can't lose the saddlebags with this issue ongoing.

I posted this before I installed the PCIII etc. Now I have everything under the seat with the exception of the PCIII, which is sitting behind the mudflap. It is tight, but it fits with no issues. One you need to watch is where the wires sit so they are not rubbing on any metal parts.

That is what I need to learn next is how to drop the rear tire and get behind the mud deflector. I have some more electronics to add to the bike and there is no more room under my seat.

Time to pull out the zip ties and the duct tape and get workin'.
