Default Nighster PCIII Install Tips - Mine is in the mail


ok anyone who has put a PCIII on a Nighster post up some tips for me.

the directions are straight forward but i believe the Nighster is a little more snug than normal sportsters.

i ordered it from Fuelmoto based on a bunch of recommendations throughout the boards and they
are mapping it for:

V&H Short Shots
Stage 1 Air Cleaner

ithink it came out to $299 with priority mail shipping. whichi think is pretty dam good to come plug and play for my exact components.

if anyone is really motivated and wants to post up some pics of their Nightster PCIII installation that would be mint.

Take your time. Try to move all the wires under the seat to the sides, front, rear of the frame making a little pocket for the PCIII wire harness that attaches to the stock ECM. I used some tape and zip ties to hold mine down and in place for taking the seat on on off.

The seat will be a tight fit but will go on.

Good luck. The instal is easy, getting the wire harness to fit well is the difficult part.

Iagree with tweakin completely. Don't get discouraged...it WILL all fit under there! Your seat will pretty much have to ride on the main connector but it won't hurt anything. I've had mine on for about 1500 miles now and it has performed flawlessly. Great product. Good Luck!
