I bought a 2007 Springer (pic below) and it had a power commander module under the seat as well. It prevented me from installing the solo seat of choice. I had to update to the module that plugs in, flashes then unplugs. Then there is no box in the way. Not sure that is an option for you or not.

You just relocate the ECM box, tuck it out of the way !

Drag Specialties sells plenty that fit 07-09...but DON'T input your make and model, the website is screwed up and won't display all that fit, check all the Sportster seats at
https://seats.dragspecialties.com/search/?ci
Am using the Predator Extended Reach model and it is excellent...
