TFI installation question

I've read several people have been able to do the installation without totally disconnecting the tank. My question is... how the heck do you get in under there with your fingers??

and have you run the wires through the frame under the seat? how do you get them through that small space??? Do I need to totally disconnect the battery - pull the wires through and then replace the battery???

Thanks puddles

I just unbolted the tank and propped it up. I use my fingers to unhook the EFI terminals, but had trouble getting them back there to reconnect things. I used a set of pistol grip needle-nosed pliers and did the connecting easily.

RE: TFI installation question

Did you loosen the front of the tank too?

Yes, I took the front bolt out also. That allowed me to tip the tank over to the left an inch or so.

Other question...

Did you run the wires under the frame? how did you get them through that small space? Did you remove the battery?

I don't know what bike you are putting it on? Mines a Road King.
