Default Power Commander V Crossbones Install

As soon as it warms up few degrees, I'm headed out to install the pcv..
Now, mine has a badlander seat..so I'm not sure what that means as far as the room to fit everything...also, I don't have the deep ecm tray..
Any tips would be helpful..
As far as maps..
I have rush slipons with the 2.25 baffles..stock a/c..for now
the closest map I see is for SE slipons with stock a/c and rev extend..
any opinions?
thanks for any help
John
edit..
Cellphone vid..

If you follow the line up from the rear sensor you can feel the connector. You should be able to feel the button bump to release it. When reassembling make sure you hear the click to know it is fully connected. It is a bear to find, lying down and looking up as you feel along the wire might help.

Just bought myself an 08 crossbones. When I looked it up on power commander website, it says it won't fit. Would this just be a space issue? It seems to be wedged in tight on yours, but it fits. Any other info?
Thanks.

Default space

I've got mine all crowded in there and don't like it much. Looks like a rats nest. I'm going to get one of those new lithium Ion batterys that are smaller with more CCA's and move some wiring down in the extra space. Reminds me of my 80FXWG wiring. All the breakers and wiring was right next to the gas tanks. Daaa.

It won't fit easily with the stock seat. I have a badlander seat, so it mounts up much like a softail custom. With the stock seat, I think you have to grind the ribs off the bottom of the seat mounting plate.
