Default ECM relocation?
Where in the hell can I stash this thing? I was hoping to hide it in the battery cover, but I don't think that's going to work. Anyone do this or even give it a try? I'm installing a springer seat and covering the hole in the fender, just want the ecm out of the way. Let me know......Thanks

Down in front of the rear fender behind the motor like an '10.
