Default Relocate Maxi-fuse?

Looking to relocate my 07 883L's ECM to the battery cover, but my Maxi-fuse and another connector (not sure what it is, not a battery tender connection) are in the way.

Anyone know of a good place to tuck the Maxi-fuse out of the way?

How you gonna fit the ECM behind the battery cover when the battery barely fits.

Over on XLforum, there are a bunch of different ways of getting this to work. The one I'm going with is zip-tieing the bottom hook, allowing a little room for the ECM to fit. Some people cut the battery tray so the battery moves in closer to the oil tank.

Or you could just use a smaller battery and have tons of space inside.

I'm only saying it cause I 've seen people talk about it.

Kevin from DK has done it, I think he mentioned it in his build thread.

They also sell them.

Yup, I'd love to do that, but I can't spare ~$200 right now for a battery when mine's working just fine. I think that's my long-term solution, but short term I just need to move the Maxi fuse so I can fit the ECM in there with the current battery.
