Default Where do I put the Fuelpak?

I have the V&H fuelpak under the battery cover, but it is putting a lot of upward pressure on on the seat cover. So much so, that I feel a lot of wobble on the seat when I ride.

Does anyone know of a better place to put it?

Try velcroing it to the battery? That's where it is on my Sporty. However it's under the seat on the Deluxe and hasn't caused any issues. Although, when I was at C&C Seats they told me their seat wouldn't fit the bike due to the FuelPak.

Might try callin your local stealer.
Im not sure about your bones, but mines under the seat, there is a perfect spot right infront of the fender.

On the XBones you have to trim the ridges off the bottom of the battery cover for the Fuelpak or PCIII to fit. My PCIII has plenty of room after I did that. I have pictures of my installation if you want to shoot me an email at tnharley@comcast.net Jerry

I had the same problem and moved it to the side of the ECM. All is well now...
