There are also some install threads in the air suspension section.
The two mounting points for the compressor will need to be tapped out, won't require any drilling, at least on my 06. Someone told me previously these holes are already threaded on newer bikes but I have no idea. Tapping the two holes was probably the longest part of the install.
Side shot after installed
When I installed mine, I had the rear wheel off waiting on my new one so I had open and easy access to everything. As far as the relay switch with all the access I had, I used a self tapping screw and mounted it up high near the other relays. I would guess not having as much access, when you fish your wires up through to back side of the battery box, get it up and out of the way as best you can and zip tie it to the harness.
The rest is really a piece of cake. One other thing I learned, there's no need to use the washers when you put the rear shock mounting bolts in because the bolts will not tighten all the way up against the shock bushings, this is by design. Not to worry, the bolts will tighten as they are suppose to and if I remember this is to protect the bushings. If you leave the washer on, they'll just rattle when you hit a good bump.

You got it man, it's pretty straightforward. I'm jealous of the road trips...I've got an itch to crack the throttle and not look back for a few days myself. Been thinking of a Key West trip or a ride over to Memphis to see some old high school friends I haven't seen since HS.
