I cut a slit in the left side of the under plastics to allow the harness to come straight through.




In my opinion this is the best orientation for the fuse box.





I also cut slits in the trunk space to allow the ECM wires to come through. Sensor behind the ECM needs to be mounted the same as it was on the S tail.




Only concern is the fuse box is not accessible unless the plastics are removed. Carry your tools




I set up an Excel spreadsheet with arrows and explanation. If you would like a copy of it email me and I will send it to you.

Hope this helps anyone interested in doing the swap. I think it was well worth the six hours of work put in.

Great job! I'll post some pis of your tail on my R once I get it together.

What's that black strap looped around the subframe in the last pic?

if you would like to keep the trunk open and free of parts....i put the ecm on top of the battery, and i zip-tied the angle bank sensor to the last "cross bar support" of the sub-frame, before the trunk.

Strap is for a Nelson Rigg tank bag, thanks for the info on the trunk.

Thanks for the pics.

I'm still thinking about doing the swap to my 9S.
