Fuel Pack On Street Bob (Pics Please!)
Can anyone that has a stock Street Bob (2009) that has installed a V&H Fuel Pack please post pics on how it is placed under the seat to allow the stock seat to be easily put installed. I had my dealer install my FP, but never had the stock seat on the bike since. Today I put it on, and I cannot get the seat all the way on because the wiring on the shifter/Clutch side of the bike prevents the seat parts on the base that protrude from going all the way down to mount the seat.
Just to clarify, I am looking for any pics of how someone situated the Fuel Pack on a 2009 Street Bob so as to allow the installation of the stock seat. Thanks, in advance..

Thanks for the info and pics. I actually managed to sort it out. It wasn't the fuel pack that was in the way of the seat, but a diagnostic connector (as the dealer described it) that was moved to one side to make room for the FP. There was a plastic dust cover that was attached to a bracket, which, when removed, allowed me enough room to slightly relocate the connector. Here are the pics:
Here is the pic the way it was (the item that was in the way was the black connector at the right:
This is the connector with the dust cover and screw to attach to the bracket underneath the seat:
Here it is with the cover removed. This allowed me enough room to relocate it:
I just used electrical tape instead on the end to prevent dust or water from getting into the connector:
At this point, there was enough room to attach the stock seat without anything getting in the way....

now that that's resolved here is a somewhat unrelated question (maybe better suited for the ignition forum but WTF?).....what can the fuelpak actually do? does it just increase the fuel:air ratio? or does it do other stuff too?

As far as I know, it simply manages fuel delivery at various throttle posiions individually through a series of numeric settings. Strangely, noone will ever devulge which setting represents what exactly. A big V&H secret, sort of like the B&M baked bean recipe.. LOL...
