If you plan on using the FXCW touring package, you won't be able to use the FXCWC seat brackets. The brackets or struts mount in the same location and can't both be mounted at the same

Exactly. You have to use the FXCW seat. No biggie though, it's way more comfortable, and has a better seating position as well.

Saddlebags (I hate 'em, too! They don't belong on a Rocker, IMO) would have no effect on the seat system.

Did you see my earlier response? Saddlebag mounting and touring seat systems have no effect on each other.

Thanks. I had everything installed before I bought the Rocker. The wife especially likes the bigger seat that coume on the touring set up. I like that you can put on and remove the seat and saddle bags in just a few short steps.
