Default ECM relocation

I have a 07 xl1200 I want to change my seat. The seat I bought requires me to relocate my ecm. Any good videos on this? That aren’t Facebook. Thanks

your biggest issue will be getting a jumper as hd notoriously short changes the length of their harnesses.
i would first consider the location spots you have and then what you will put the ecu in and yet have cooling. after that, measure the jumper length and let you fingers do the walking. remember this, connections are weak links so you will be adding to the equation.
the youmayamakeit is pretty sweet.
