You need to remove the ribs on the underside of the pan thing (frame fairing). If you remove the fuse holder bracket, it allows the fuses the drop dowm and make room for the PCV connectors. Anyway, it's a tight fit.

enjoy the Xbones. I know I want one but I don't want to give up my nightster so I'll just have to buy one sometime down the road

Thanks for the tip. I got the same advice from Cheescake, and it made the install go pretty easy!

I moved the sissybar pad up and that helped a lot. The stock location is way too low. I had a PCV and the installation was a PITA. I was never really comfortable with it. Went to a T-Max and the fit is fine.
