Question PCV Installation

I put a PCV in my 08 FatBoy today. It is so cramped underneath my seat I am worried the it may get damaged the way it sits in there. Would anybody be willing to share some pictures of their PCV installed on a softail? I am trying to get some ideas to position mine differently than what the instructions say. I spent over an hour trying different placement ideas and still not real happy with the placement.
On a side note--FuelMoto has some of the fastest shipping I have ever seen, 3 days from order to my door.

Bump. Same problem here on my '09. I got mine from FuelMoto today and followed the instructions. It's so cramped I can't even get my seat on. It looks like the cables are bigger than in the pictures in the instructions. Anyone with pics would be great.

This is how I did mine. Fits fine and no clearance problems with the seat. I have an 09 Fatty.

Didn't get chance to call them today and I figured it would already be answered somewhere on here. Anyway a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Thanks tonov12. My problem was with the ECM and I didn't think to turn it sideways.

I have an 09 Fatboy and after seeing these pictures it helped me make up my mind. I was a little leery before seeing them. I just placed my order with Fuelmoto. thanks

Thanks tonov, this is how I ended up setting mine up also, the instructions are more inline with the way jed has his set up, but my C&C seat would not clear it config'd like that. It works, I just wish I knew how much pressure I was putting on it. I guess I'm paranoid I will crush the ECM plugs or PCV.
