FX/FLST-N:

Securely tie all harnesses to the frame

and/or other harnesses. Avoid routing harnesses where
engine movement, sharp edges, exhaust systems or hot
engine components can contact and cut into the
harnesses or connector plugs. Be aware that swingarm
movement at full suspension compression reduces the
clearance opening at the rear of the oil tank where the
front oxygen sensor harness is routed (tie harness
inboard of swingarm).

FX/FLST-O:

Install

steel

fuse

box

mounting bracket.
Plug in the tail light
harness plug,

re-

install the

battery

(positive cable first).
Re-install the main
fuse. Replace the
fuse box cap and
attach the fuse box to the plastic fuse box bracket.

towards you. Depress
locking tab

on

connectors and remove
the ECM from the wire
harnesses.

FXD-D: Remove the three
caddy mounting bolts (do not
remove caddy from bike) to
allow caddy to drop down
slightly towards primary cover.

Pull caddy slightly towards you
to allow room for oxygen
sensor harness routing.

FXD-E: Starting
at the rear cylinder
head,

route

the

oxygen

sensor

harness

behind

the coil and ECM
caddy up through
the frame opening
as shown, then

W ith ECM still
“out” of its home

position as shown,
reinstall (3) caddy

mounting screws.
Verify that oxygen
sensor

harness

moves freely (not
pinched by caddy
reattachment).
Enough

slack

must be left in
harness to allow
ECM to be pulled

out far enough for temporary attachment of the ECM
communication cable for map programming and
adjustments.

FXD-F:

Unplug and remove factory oxygen sensors from

the exhaust pipes. Remove any previously installed
ancillary tuning device including oxygen sensor
eliminators that may be plugged into the factory
oxygen sensor harness.
If using an exhaust system
equipped with 18mm sensor bungs (‘06-‘11 style), install
the supplied sensors into the exhaust pipes and tighten.
If retaining factory exhaust headpipes, 18mm bungs will
