Default Power Commander location change?

I was looking for a new seat, and found the C&C seats, which look sharp and say they're as low as is comfortable. Well, that sounded good until I read the fine print, and they say they won't work with a Power Commander or any other fuel management system that fits under the seat! I even emailed the company to double-check this. Man, it must be a flush seat fit.

So I know my PC unit is resting atop the battery, but I wonder if there is space for it elsewhere so I could still get a C&C seat, or if I need to shop elsewhere for seats?

I have mine zip tied to the ECM unit behind the cover. Makes it easy to connect to for any changes. Of course I could be an oddball too.

What model bike do you have. My PC is also mounted on the ECM, zip tied per the instructions. I think any touring bike should allow for that type of setup. No?
