Need Help Installing PC-V

I just recieved my PC-V today and thought I was going to install it within 1 hour. I have a 08 StreetGlide with ABS....man was I surpise....I never got it installed. I need help and where to fit the PC-V..there's NO room anywhere. I have read about people cutting the holder...but I have NO ideal what to cut. Hoping someone has pictures...maybe thats what I need. Do have to move the positive battery cable as in the directions or what. PLEASE HELP ME.....thanks.

The instructions should be pretty clear and the pictures are quite clear also. It can be kinda tough to stuff the wiring harness and plug into the area in front of the battery. Be patient take your time you might have to move a few of the existing wires around to make a little more room. Mine was tight but it all fit. Remember one plug goes into the ecm the unit velcros to the top of the ecm and one plug and the wires go in front of the battery. Good luck and let us know how it went.

I could never fit the plug in front of the battery so I put it under the right cover and wire tied to the front of the enclosure there.

Yes..there were directions....but nothing about cutting the ecm plate. With ABS there's no room. If anyone has pictures of a PC-V and pictures of the ecm plate cut...would be VERY helpful.

I did my 08 Ultra. The instructions don't really apply to the '08's..It was designed for the '09 and newer. The fuelmoto PCV is a retrofit..and I couldn't get mine to fit with the ECM tray.

Here is some pics of my install..

I tried forever to get that stuff tucked in on my '08.
i don't know if some of the ECM trays are different or what, but that connector will not fit in front of my ECM tray....

so I looked around, and spotted one of those 1/2" rubber mats that the wife uses to kneel on in the garden...she'll never miss just one little piece...

and cut a piece to fit nice and snug over the battery...

then stack everything on top...

Then I put the AT modules under the left side cover next to the fuses..
