Try putting the compressor for the shocks in that little space in front of the battery.
6 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket.

I know!  I took the seat off day one to put the battery tender harness on and took one look and said to hell with it.
A Harley wrench has to have skinny fingers these days.

Or a lot of patience.
Mine has the battery tender hook up, two heated clothes hookups, the compressor hookup.
Only thing left (I hope) is the Hawg Wired hook up!

Chip, did you have to take off that complicated looking thingamajig laying on top of the battery?

Yes

but Warren it's no big deal
It's the ECM and you just press the clips on each side of it and out it comes.
Then take out the two bolts that hold the battery cover on and the battery is exposed.
You can do it.
It's easier that trying to hook up that stupid and useless tour pak rack light.

Maybe I'll leave that in the box....

OK... maybe stupid and useless was to strong.

How bout this,

Overly complicated and relatively obscure?

So if you are incredibly lazy and unconcerned, as I am, then maybe some rainy day.
Last night was stupid fork reflector roasting time...easy because I could smoke a cigar and dring a beer whislt roasting the stupid ugly things...

Well hell, there's a drink of soda that never expected to see the inside of my nose....

Miker, the tour pak luggage rack light is the first thing I did.  It is not hard but you have to take the luggage rack off to do it.  It doesn't provide much light but it does fill the hole in the luggage rack and it was "only" $50.

I know, I did it on the 03,05 & 06 but there was no ECM and other numerous electronical crap covering up the battery.  Why did they put the ECM there?  I have also found that it is more difficult to put the seat back on on this bike than any of my previous ones.

ABS went where the ECM used to be.  No place else to put it.
