2008 Fatboy FuelPak Install Photos
I have received a few emails asking about how I got the FuelPak to fit under the seat. Apparently there isn't as much room as previous years, but folks have had difficulty, and they have inquired.
The tray piggy-back mount that V&H describes in their instructions leaves things too tall for the seat to fit correctly. One writer told me that his FuelPak's case got cracked, and the wire harness connectors got pinched.
The following method makes lots of room under the seat for a FuelPak and probably other fuel manager brands.
Here's how it fits:[/align][/align]My shop guys took apart my fuse box. The base and frame and the lid are gone along with any fasteners that were holding down the fuse box. After taking apart the fuse box you are left with two clusters of fuses and the main 50amp fuse that pulls out of the lid unit. The naked fuse clusters got routed down inside the oil tank well with the fuses facing up, their wiring harnesses leading to the fuses end up below the fuse clusters. [/align][/align]I have since surrounded the fuse clusters with rubber padding and they are quite secure. You end up with a large open flat area behind the battery and in front of the ECU where everything fits fine.[/align][/align]Here are some pictures from different angles:[/align][/align]

How's that fuel pak working out for you, I installed mine and when I'm running about 55 mph then jumping on it to say pass a car It just doesn't seem like I have the power that I should have. Makes a bass *** sound but nothing to back it up. Other then that I'm prettty happy with it, and have emailed V&H and they said to recalibrate the throttle and after trying that with no luck I emailed them back and have yet to get another reply.

RE: 2008 Fatboy FuelPak Install Photos
I am very happy with my completed Stage 1. (V&H BSS pipes, Arlen Ness Big Sucker a/c, V&H FuelPack, piggy-backed to a stock ECU).
These modsand synthetic oils has my bike running much cooler than stock.
For my suggested map (FP-0598) all mode values are setas prescribedexcept for Mode 23. I have entered a value of 15 instead of 16. I get minor decel pops at unpredictable times, or sometimes none at all. At all times I get improved performance, and have not noticed any increases or decreases in fuel ecomony (my lowest priority, either way).
Running cooler and sounding better were my main goals. Noticeable gains in HP & torque are a pleasent by-product.

RE: 2008 Fatboy FuelPak Install Photos
I just installed the pciii usb and it was the same instructions. I decided to keep the bracket that holds the relays as my module is mounted behind the rear wheel slash guard where Harley would have put the alarm siren. There is an opening for the wiring and it goes between the relay and fuse set. The connectors are the same place as in the photos posted here. I set the throttle and ran the bike and it runs fine but lost about 5mpg.
