Default Attaching the load equalizer to an FXST

I just hooked up a Badlands Load Equalizer on my FXST and installed some LED rear turn signals. Everything works great, but I still have the Load Equalizer sitting loose behind between the fuse box and the ignition module. It came with zip ties, but there really isn't a good place to zip tie it.

Where have you guys attached the Load Equalizers on your softails?

Mine is under my seat. It helped that when I bought a new battery, I bought a shorter one thwt helps me fit more under the seat.

Yeah, mine fits under the seat, but do you guys just leave it loose under there, or fasten it to something?

Use some velcro to secure it.

Well, Velcro didn't work, so I cut a piece of leather and punched holes to match the 2 bolts that hold the plate the fuse box is mounted on and the 3 holes in the equalizer and used the screws to hold the leather down and the zip ties to hold the equalizer to the leather. Should work fine.

I think either soft 02 or QC is the one that told me about it, I love it.
