Default pcIII fatboy placement?

Hey guys,
Any chance i can possibly get some personal pics of a install for a 2007 FATBOY pcIII setup of your bike posted? Just wanted to compare installed components to my bike.

I just did mine last weekend, no pics, sorry. Quite easy though, just remove the rear wheel mudguard's two screws, unhookthe toplatch and slide out. You will see a rubber square housing for the smart siren, you place the PCIII on top of it and hook the zip tides to a couple of hoses that are nearby orhang iffrom a tube at top, you'll seee it.

Yep, actually put mine in the housing as I'm not using the alarm.

Is it better to put it behind the fender as opposed to replacing the tray under the seat?
I am putting one in an 05 in the next couple of weeks.

That was one of my problems, the other is where all the connections and slide connection for the top of the fuse box get stuffed.

If you can fit it under the seat, I'd do that...a little more protected there, just not practical in some cases...I don't know anyone who's had any problem with one located by the mudguard, tho.

What is the senor that is located on the top of the fuse box that slides into place?
