Default Power Commander install problem..

I hate to ask a foolish question like this for my first post..but here goes. I've been trying to install a power commander on my '05 Dyna Low rider for hours, and no matter what I do I can't cram everything under the seat- even if I position it exactly as shown in the install instructions the plug part of the unit (where the stock connector plugs in) sticks up above the frame, so that the seat rests on it, squashes it against the ECM when I sit on the bike. My concern is that over time the connector may break. Does the low rider have less room under the seat then the rest of the Dynas?

Default RE: Power Commander install problem..

Solved the problem...took it to the dealer and had them flash the ECM. I'll Ebay the power commander. It's too bad, I would have liked to use it, but it was way too tight under the seat, and I was limited by the harness length to where I could locate the connectors. I just wasn't comfortable with everything being squashed down by the seat... runs great with the stage 1 flash.
