Per V&H installation guide it should be under the seat on all Softail models(4-pin and 6-pin). Ride safe.

yes, it just lies on top of your battery.

No fender removal, just the seat and seat cover

My advice...go to professional with dyno tuner. Yes, you can tune with Power Commander, fuel tune or power vision, but with a good profesional and with dyno tuner, you will tune the bike with more results and efficiency.

Not only more power, its do a correct tune of the fuel/air, etc... I tuned my bike with power vision when I bought years ago. More years later, a friend start to work with a dyno tune for motorcycles. With the dyno tune, we can correct perfectly the fuel map (power vision, fp3 , power commander , have a limit, even with auto tune, they cant tune 100% perfectly a motorcycle)
