Default Danny Gray seat for FXCWC .....

Question to all of those who have got them D-G custom seats on them Rockers. Did you have your seat custom made for your bike?
Or did you pick the one they have to offer?
I was wondering, I 'm wanting to get one of those seats for my FXCWC that will fit with the trick seat in the out position. I do not what the set up where the passenger seat can be taking off and stuffed back under the seat. I noticed that they don't show to be offering the butt crack seat.
I have seen a couple of these seats on E-Bay going real cheap, just wondering if the Rocker seat would fit the R-C model with the trick set in the open position?

You can't have both the DG seat and the trick seat support. They won't fit. It's either/or. The trick seat is only part of the Rocker C seat. If you want the Rocker seat or the Danny Gray or any other seat, you must first remove the Rocker C seat, which means removing the trick seat support.

I had mine custom made with "gel" they use a viscolastic dry polymer. AustinHarley is correct, you can't have both. You could go for the HD 2-up seat as I did. You would have to get the struts chromed, however, as they are for the FXCW. Takes about 10 minutes to change it out.

PureDeath, here are the part numbers you need to make it work:

53935-08 (Touring System Strut Kit), 52959-08 (Passenger Pillion for FXCW Models), 53957-08 (FXCW Solo Luggage Rack), 52804-08 (FXCW Passenger Sissy Bar Upright), 51782-07 (Smooth Look Compact Passenger Backrest Pad), 51480-08 (FXCW Seat), 51886-06 (FXCW Bracket Support/Solo Seat), and 11669 (Grommets). You can get these parts cheaper through Zanotti's. I had the struts chrommed by Chromemasters for $168, which included shipping. They do really great work and the turnaround time was less than two weeks.

I have the same strut system for 2 up and it's def less than 10 mins to swap it out once you've done it a couple of times.

I wouldn't swap my Danny Gray for anything it's awesome, mines custom made for me and has gel inserts.
