Hey guys Im needing help installing my battery back after trying to route the cables from the ECU on my 08 Nightster. Can anyone tell me how you get the wire and harness "flush" with the frame in enough to put the battery back in? Please help!!!

I am with Curt. I cussed at mine and nearly threw up my hands in surrender; then, I watched, watched and watched; followed the installer's every twist and turn then, voila: it popped right in. I was amazed.

I just installed mine this afternoon.....Nearly smashed the thing multiple times. I still don't know how they do it so easy in the video. Just keep attempting to move little things around until it fits. Huge pain in the *** and I hope I never need to take out the battery again.

Joel and garslayer, after many attempts I just called my local Harley shop. They worked me in and I just forked out the 459.95 for a a EFI super tuner. The shop stated that If I used the fuelpak it wouldn't do the job the super tuner would. I was so fed up with trying to get the fuelpak to fit against the frame. We tried several times and I was not in the mood to re-route any wiring.

Bike sounds great and works fine at this point.......just had to dish out a bit more cash to make it happen .......

Thanks for all the help.
