I've been lookin' at the Big Shot Longs and the fuel pak. I looked at the online instructions for the Softail and it looks like you should have received a new fender tray (deeper, I suppose) to install. If you did install the tray and it still won't fit then WTF? Could the Heritage have a different seat design than the other Softail models? Or maybe they sent the wrong tray.

Good Luck and keep us posted...

With the PCIII you need to make a change to the fuse block, real easy, but makes a world of difference.

Download the instructions for the PCIII and see if that helps.

I had a fuel pak on my Heritage with no problem.....I'd also suspect the ecu tray..

I have a PCIII now, but I couldn't understand why they want to push the relay block down...it fits nicely as long as you route the cables and tie them down..

After a "Homer Simpson" moment, I figured out what the problem was - I was sent the Fuelpak kit for a touring bike instead of a softail. It didn't come with the new fender tray.

Doh[:@]

No wonder it didn't fit!!!!

I believe the proper technical term for something like that is, [sm=oopssign.gif]
