Bad *** lookin bike Aaron! I can't tell from the pics, but are those the wrinkle black engine covers or denim black?

And same here RedNose, I have a TON of stuff going to the coaters when I get back and the bike above helps me kinda see what I want to do.

Thanks man. Love the bike/money pit (other than being a little cramped) They are the wrinkle finish covers.

If you are cramped, kick your apes forward. It makes a hell of a difference; I can already see you are going for forward controls, that will help too.

Don't know on the newer bikes, but on mine there is a little recessed area on the battery between the terminals up by where all the frame grounds are (where the backbone starts) and the PCV tucked right in there. Pretty much made it flush with the top of the battery. Just have to get creative with the wire routing. What's more difficult is where it plugs into the ECM. DJ wants you to turn the ECM sideways and velcro it on so you have room for the extra ECM plug and wiring. There are some posts on here somewhere about that, you'll want to find them when you get home and get to work on the scoot.
Thanks Bill! That helps ease my mind a little. I will check up on those posts for re-mounting the ECM and hooking the PCV up. I definitely want there to be plenty of space. So I will have to pick up some double sided tape or some velcro with an adhesive backing, correct?

Got it from V-Twin. I think I believe its called LED Diamond. It came chrome, so I had it powdercoated. I got a can of that lens tint stuff and sprayed the lenses black. Kinda ghetto but it was worth a shot.

Yeah, just run by the store and get some 3M velcro. A small roll will do. You don't have to follow DJ's directions exactly, just have to do what works.

Fuelmoto also has a good set of instructions for the PCV and the Auto tune add on. Here is a link. That is how I mounted my PCV. BTW you won't have much of space under there when done.
