Question PC-V install location?

I hear the PC-V comes with a tray for locating the unit, but that also this could expose it to not only water, but possibly even the tire! Just wondering what the story is and where you guys installed your PC-V's. Pics are awesome, but I'll take what I can get. I just want to avoid any potential issues right off the bat rather than having to learn the hard way on this one. I'm running lowered RK shocks (11") and REALLY like the stock Nightster seat. If anything I'd like to go even lower profile in the seat area. Not sure if 11" shocks will allow the tire to bottom out in the fender or not, or if the Dynojet tray makes things even worse.

It mounts on your rear fender underneath your seat. I've never had water issues.

I'm running the PCV on my bike now and haven't had any problems. They sent me a tray that replaces the orginal so now it just sits under the ecm. I've had it on for a while now and have ridden 2 up with no issues. I can take pictures of how I did it if you need some help. Let me know!
