Default Looking for some help

Was out riding around almost all day yesterday visiting family, on my last little run before heading home, I lose all power!! I pull over to check it out, all the lights are good but I notice the bike isn't sensing the key fob FOB in my pocket. My neighbor comes and we get the bike home, pop off the seat to check it out and apparently the rear tire ate up the splash guard and my ECM and my power commander III fall out!!!! Once i realized what happened, I went back to where I lost power and sure enough there they were in the middle of the street. So I reconnect everything and it still will not start, i'm assuming the PCIII is toast, can I just reconnect the ECM to see if its ok? What options do I have for a tuner? Can I replace the splash guard with out removing the wheel and/or fender?

Is this a good deal or should I look at something else:

i bought my bike used, the previous owner bumped up the stock 96" to a 103", Im not sure what exactly was done. The bike also has freedom performance sharp curve radius exhaust and an aftermarket air cleaner.

Yeah, I dont know why it started rubbing, crazy!!! I do have a shotgun rear shock, but Ive had this setup for like 7 years with no problems. The only thing different is I did get a new rear tire, same size just different brand. Im wondering if the shop that changed the tire moved the splash guard? The screws fell out???

Some of the pins on the PCIII are all tweaked up, the PCIII looks like it was ran over.

Looks like this is the piece I need to replace:

Do i need to remove the wheel and/or fender to replace this piece?

First, I would figure out why the tire started rubbing. Repairing/replacing things without diagnosing this is a fools errand.

The same size tire can have different dimensions from on manufacture to another.

Why is there a giant hole in the fender under the seat?
That is just begging for problems.
