Default Help With PCV Install!
I can't get my seat on because of this black to gray plug and can't figure out where I should put it. Any suggestions?

It is a royal pain when I put a tuner on my wife's softail..
Do you have a deeper tray where the ECM is sitting in?
Any room to route the plug next to the battery?

Thanks for the replies. Not sure if it says to remove the ECM tray in the directions but I didn't read them too much so I'm gonna go turn the ECM sideways and call it a day.

Read the directions, the ECM needs to be relocated higher on the fender.

you need to remove the ECM bracket and use the velcro to attach the ECM to fender.
