about the fuelpak, YES! it takes a bit of patience but i was rocking my fuelpak and now my PC-V no problems... i have a picture of my install somewhere...

BTW, im selling my fuelpak if you want it.
Just remember that when you remove the plate under the fender that it also holds the rear wire harness up away from the tire. I did remove mine but also used zip ties to keep the wires up and away.

On the FatBoy Lo the seat attaches to the single hole behind the stock seat mounting space. You have to get a bung to go into that hole. I got mine on e-bay. You will also have to paint their crappy bracket black to match the black denim. Then you will have to go back to e-bay and find a black screw to hold the seat down, Mustang makes one. After all that the seat looks awesome. I started a thread here that complained about LePera's cheap mounting hardware and the fact they don't supply all the necessary parts. It's a shame you have to paint stuff and buy cheap parts that they could supply. After all, their seats aren't cheap and it would make the company look better to use quality parts.

There is room for the ECM and or PC-5 and also the two studs for the thumb screws stay where they are under the barebones.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the clarity of your response. Sufficient and necessary information.
