Here are the pics I promised:
These are pics of the auto tune modules. The pic with the single module shows how the first one goes and it fits perfect like it was made to go there. No velcro or zip tie on this one as the second module (shown in pic 2) holds it in. These are under the left side cover in front of the fuse box.

This first pic is of the modified (hacked) top caddy that I had to cut the corner off of to get the pc v connector to fit. There is just enough room in front of the battery for the connector, but the battery cover/ECM caddy hangs over the front of the battery too far and wont allow the connector to fit.
The second pic shows the connector in place. Look closely and you can see the modified caddy between the connector and the battery.
The third pic points out the connector, the pc v, and the auto tune modules.

Here is a pic of the wide band 02 sensor installed on dresser duals. The sensor touches the top tranny cover between the starter and rear cylinder.
As stated in my original post, I am happy with the install overall. The bike is running great. I ran a couple hundred miles today, and it runs stronger than it did before. No regrets at this time. Have to remember that this is a RETRO kit for a 2008. The pc v was designed for 09's. The purpose of posting this with the pics is just to help inform anyone thinking about doing a retro install and help you know what to expect.

I found a sweet deal on a slightly used but perfect SE255 ($110), and after buying gasket kits, bearings, and bearing install/removal tools I'm out $285 for the entire job. Good investment, as this cam is exactly what I was looking for, which was to move my TQ and HP curves straight up with no shift to the right. IOW not a huge peak-HP gain but a meaningful boost in low-end and midrange TQ. If I were to hazard a guess I might say a 5-6 increase in both HP and TQ, and certainly worth the time and expense.
If you're looking for race cams that maximize peak-HP this won't be your best choice, but for heavy touring bikes that rarely operate above 4000 RPM's, this is the ticket.
