ElSupremo, those are good shots of your install. Guess you found the PC III had to be placed in a perfect location under the mud flap for it to be screwed back on without mashing the PC III. The connector on top of your&nbsp\\;ECM is recommended to also have a wire tire holding it together too. When you purchase a new PC III it will come with a deeper tray for the ECM to help fit this extra harness connector under the seat. The issue is removing the 4 ECM bolts from the old tray that&nbsp\\;has brass inserts that corrode to the bolts. This can be done with a vice and hacksaw or Dremmel tool.

I always like to put a sandwich baggie around it to help keep water off. Just my preference. Mine is located like ElSupremo.

Yup and he really a good job with his install too. I've seen guys use baggies. Also if you use a little Di-Electric Grease on the module connections it will help protect against dirt and water. btw, fuelmoto sells the AN Big Sucker AC at a good price, 109 I think so if you purchase a PC III from you can save a bit in shipping. Jammie doesn't charge shipping. 279 for PC III's with 02 eliminators and 269 without for older open loop bikes. It's a great deal.

Hmmm. Mine didn't come with a deeper tray, though that would make things a lot easier to place. I've contacted them to see what it will take to get one. It would definately make a lot more room for the connections.
And thanks for the compliments. I try to take pics whenever I'm changing stuff, just in case someone has questions.

I'd say your choice of installers was wrong, not choosing the PCIII. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would have velcroed it to the mud guard. Apparently they didn't even read the instructions, so I'd recommend running in the opposite direction of that dealer.
