My PCIII came yesterday and I slapped it in last night. The install was very easy and it fits very nice with my Brawler seat. Can't wait to get it out this weekend.

Tom,

Did you fit it under your seat, or between the wheel and the plastic wheel cover ?

I was able to fit it under the seat using the PCIII tray that comes with the unit. I'd call it a "snug" fit. I didn't have to sit on the seat to screw it down or anything. It did come with plastic ties and I guess those would be used if it didn't fit under the seat.

I still have to set my throttle positions at 0% and 100%.

I just picked up my 08 Deluxe and I'm planning on swapping the OEM pipes with the V&H Softail Duals. I will also add a new aircleaner to complete the stage 1 upgrade. My question to you guys is, if I get the V&H Fuel-Pak (no plans on changing ANYTHING in the engine) do you have problems with "popping" on decel?

Dave

I have an '08 Deluxe with V&H Big Shot Longs, FuelPak and SE AC (no other engine plans). Almost no popping on decel. The system is pretty much plug and play and has been great for the first 1,100 miles.
