Default PCIII Installation

Tried to install the PCIII on my 08 Ultra today. No way I can get that SOB plug&nbsp\\;to fit between the battery and rear of the tank as per the instructions!!! Looks easier on a non ABS bike but I have ABS!!

Im not sure if it can be mounted in the 08 the same as an 06,but you could tie strip it next to the ECM under the side cover.

Tried that too. Just fits too damn tight and I'm afrait I'll crush both plugs&nbsp\\;if I keep mashing around on it.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I appreciate the reply though!!&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Thanks!! BTW it won't fit under the side cover due to the ABS module taking that space.

That is my main complaint with the PC-III. On my 07, mounting with the ECM under the right side cover, the PC-III harness should either be 2 inches shorter or 2 inches longer...

But it is all good. The damn thing works so well!

Hi,
I installed a PCIII on my 08 Street Glide with ABS this past winter.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; It was a very tight fit.&nbsp\\; The first time I tried I gave up.&nbsp\\; I thought there is no way this is going to fit infront of the battery.&nbsp\\; I called FuelMoto and Keith suggested that I get a hairdrier and heat the wire bundle in front of the battery to soften it up.&nbsp\\; I took his advice and I was able to push the wire bundle far enough to the left side of the bike to make room for the PCIII connector.&nbsp\\; I also cut a little notch out of the top of the plastic cover that covers the battery.&nbsp\\; Trust me It will fit it just takes a bit of fiddling.
Good Luck,
Willie

Save yourself a lot of headaches. Take your Dremel tool and trim the front edge off of the plastic ECM tray. Everything will go together very easily. If I recall, the PCIII document suggests that might be necessary on an ABS bike where you must mount the PCIII on top of the ECM.
