You would need the following parts:
  1. Touring System Strut Kit (53935-08)
  2. FXCW Solo Luggage Rack (53957-08)
  3. Passenger Pillion for FXCW Models (52959-08)
  4. FXCW Passenger Sissy Bar Upright (52804-08)
  5. Smooth Look Compact Passenger Backrest Pad (51782-07)
  6. FXCW Seat (51480-08)

The least expensive place I have found to get these is Zanotti's. The only problem is that the struts are satin stainless steel powder coated like the FXCW.

I have this set up on mine and the Danny Gray for solo, by far the best alternative and only takes less than 10 mins to switch over.

Another place to go is Alligator Bob. I know he has taken a few of the factory Rocker-C seats and rebuilt the seat pan. Still used all the factory mountings, but from what I hear you seat more down inside it. You have the option to keep the trick-seat, there but you cannot store it under the seat, as his retooling utilizes that space. I saw a post in the past of this done and it looked sharp. It might be worth giving him a call. The cost will all depend on the exotics you use and the options you want, just like the DG. http://www.alligatorbob.com/

Here is a picture of the seat Alligator Bob did for me. Totally custom and made to fit. I can ride all day in this seat. I use the HD rack for the Rocker too. You do need some money in your pocket for a custom seat like this but it was worth it for me.

Check out the seats that we put together in a weekends time. We haven't sent them off to be chromed or painted but we needed something fast, so the ladies would stop bitching about the ride. They love the security of the sissy bar and we love the fact that we can pull it off and go back to original when they are not riding with us. We have alot more pictures I can send you. Mike will be finishing up some things on both of them and then I will be sending mine out to be chromed. This was alot cheaper then spending 2000 on Heartland kit.

Has anyone actually USED this 2-up setup on a fxcwc rocker c? The reason I ask is because Harley Davidson told me it would not work. But it appears that it does.

Thanks for your help guys.

It will work. but you have to buy the Rocker (FXCW) seat for it to work. The struts do not come in chrome so I had mine chromed by Chromemasters. You need the following parts:
  1. Touring System Strut Kit (53935-08)
  2. FXCW Solo Luggage Rack (53957-08)
  3. Passenger Pillion for FXCW Models (52959-08)
  4. FXCW Passenger Sissy Bar Upright (52804-08)
  5. Smooth Look Compact Passenger Backrest Pad (51782-07)
  6. FXCW Seat (51480-08)
  7. FXCW Bracket Support/Solo Seat 51886-06
  8. Grommets (11669)
