Howdy, I must be doing something wrong. How in the heck do you get the nut on the forward bolt for the ECM back on without removing the shock?
And second, I see 2 or 3 better places to mount the ECM that will keep it from blocking the air from the fan and keep the seat pan from rubbing, Is it OK to relocate it? and does it have to be mounted flat?

In the other models it is mounted vertical further back in the bike.....the only problem is that you will lose the little bit of underseat storage there is.......

There is a recess is the plastic that holds the nut still while you tighten up the allen bolt. I used my index finger to position it up in there. You will probably drop it a couple of times getting it up in the hole, I did. It can be a PITA.

A stout zip tie replaced that nut/bolt on my Uly.
