Default Calling all 48 Riders (ECM relocation)

I relocated the ECM on my nightster today so i could move the stock seat back a few inches to give me more stretch. Im happy with how it turned out but i just wondered where it is on the 48 or the best place for it.

Mine is now tucked in between the battery housing and the 1st cylinder.

-Cheers.

No problem. Dunno if anyone really bothers relocating it though since its already under the seat.

i didn't think there would be enough room ill have to have another look. I just assumed it would be else where as on the nightster its located in that stupid hole in the rear mud guard where as on the 48 you guys get a nice complete mud guard. I just assumed it was HD witch-craft...
