Default Under seat pics of PCV with Autotune?

I can't for the life of me cram everything under the seat. Anyone have tips or trying? I also don't think my Saddleman seat has as much room as stock...

You have to have the softail ecm bucket, I've got my pcv on my ecm. Then the auto tune module in front of the battery between the cables, I have the single module setup. Just had my seat off today. I'll post pic l8r if I can get my daughter's to bed at a decent time.

Thet, where you stationed? I am stationed at Scott and a fellow ammo guy as well (noticed the **** pot)

Also dyno jet makes a ecu tray to help fit everything if you can't make space

Does the softail tray require you to cut into the fender?

No cutting involved.

It is only 1/2" deeper than stock so don't expect miracles.

What I'm not getting is the ECU bracket was already removed... per the instructions. I don't see how this will create any new space.

Did you get the deeper ecm tray already? If you have it the pcv gets zelcroed to the fins of the ecm and they fit under the seat. I'll go take a pic of my setup and post it for ya.

Do you have the dual module auto tune or the newer single?

Pcv is usually ziptied to the pcm but I've been trying to clean up the mess of wiring

I managed to get it all to fit. I had the wrong instructions for my model. Apparently, the 08 Fatboy needs the 09+ Softail instructions.


I did not use the tray. It wouldn't have done anything.
