Did the AIS and Barons Fuel Pump Relo 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
And all went really well, right up until I did the fuel pump relocation. I am not sure if it was because I was tired or that the instructions from Barons are TERRIBLE, but it took me forever to complete. Every place I ran the hoses, something didn't fit, something got pinched, something wouldn't go back together...I bet it took me 3 hours to do just the relo. And the crappy pics they have were little help. I just couldn't figure out what they were trying to say in them. I really wish they would ahve said things like "left side of bike" or "right side"...or maybe a couple more pics!!!

I really wish I would have taken pics and done a write up as I went, but I was so frustrated with it, I didn't. Anyone else use the Barons kit? Hopefully yal had better luck with it! haha

But now, it is the day after, and all is done, all the crap off the bike, and things cleaned up. I have an exhaust coming, a HyperCharger coming, and buying the tail/plate/signal thingy tomorrow.

I will have to get some new pics up, as the ride is going to be changing!

Hey Jason19
If you zip tie the fuel line to frame, make sure it's not to tight. It will soften and collapse as it heats up, when you least expect it. Don't ask!

Yeah, I read that a few days ago... So I made sure all ties were loose. I am thinking I will probably cut the cover a little to run the hoe out under the frame. I don't like it coming through the seat pan, and sticking out along the frame, and it sure seems tight going under the tank.

I dunno, maybe I ran it wrong, but it sure was a struggle.

Jason 19 do yourself a favor and get rid of the fuel pump and install the 2.5 needle seat assy. does away with all the relocation problems and extra parts to fail when least expected!! Just a suggestion, I did this mod in about 20 mins to my midnight and it works great!
