SE A/C question
Just picked up a SE A/C and V&H fuelpak to go with my V&H Ovals. Looking through the install instructions for the SE A/C, it says that the fuel tank has to be removed. I'm not the handiest guy in the world, but I'm trying. Only way to get the A/C on is to take the tank off first?

RE: SE A/C question
apparently you must have an '08, and must be something with the bigger tank. \\; the '07s and earlier just bolt on. sure can't understand why you would have to fiddle with the gas tank.

RE: SE A/C question
I pulled my tank. Its actually very, very \\;easy. \\; There is no cross over hose on the 08's. \\; However after I did mine a member in here said that he did his without removing the tank. \\; The reason for removing the tank is because there is 2 hex bolts that have to be removed so you can remove and discard the throttle body bracket. \\; The heads to these bolts are facing vertical under the tank. \\; After I did mine a member in here said he managed to do his with a angle allen wrench and didnt remove his tank. \\; But I would rather remove the tank out of the way so it doesnt get scratched. \\; The instructions in the shop manual are way better than the instructions that come with the iar cleaner backplate,

I have an '08 Ultra and I put one on two weeks ago \\;- didn't remove the tank. \\; An angled allen wrench will get in there without scratching the bottom of the tank. \\; Just take your time removing these two bolts and the rest of the removal/install will take about 10 mins. \\;

RE: SE A/C question
Got it on this AM (along with the V&H fuelpak to go with my Ovals). I'll do a little write-up later since others are interested in these components as well.
