Install 4 Point Docking System Harley Davidson Tour Pack Passenger Backrest

[@sikbaggers]

I refereed to the backrest as the "rider backrest" CORRECTION...Passenger Backrest. Sorry about that. My garage was about 40 degrees...my brain was froze lol.

[@hansolo6089]

Precise tutorial.. Thanks SIK! Kudos to you from us out here in the West Coast.. (Just moved back from Indy!) Harley has gotten WAY OUT OF HAND in reference to service, parts and labor so anything "we" can do ourselves is much appreciated from videos such as yours!! ROCK AND ROLL!!

Good video. U explained where each one docks onto unlike alot of others that do a short unexplained video. Thx

Thank you for this video. I purchased a used Electra Glide from a private party and it came with a tour pack and sissy bar but the owner had the four points all messed up and with standard washers instead of the proper chrome spacer. I was wondering why things wouldn't line up. Your video was of great help. Thanks!

Glad you got it lined out! It can be a mess trying to figure out someone else's work.

Looks like I need to buy the right docking hardware. I'm new to Harleys and I bought used docking hardware, sissy bar, and luggage rack. Come to find out its not 09 and up as the guy said. I have a 14 road king and the hardware I need is like you installed. The hardware I was sold, you have to remove all three bolts and and bolt it to the outside of the frame. Thanks for the good video.

[@sikbaggers]

yes sir you are correct...09 to 13 and 14 to 19 ...you will find these changes throught the bike...in 14 they changed alot of stuff, forks, radio, bags, lids, lid hardware, switches..too many to list...just remember you want 14 up or Rushmore style and you will be good to go.

[@jwalter75]

@@sikbaggers Thanks Steve! I wish I would've seen your video before I bought. Do you think the sissy bar and luggage rack would fit once I get the correct docking hardware? I'd hate to sell it all off if they will work. I paid $150 for everything shipped and they were all like new condition.

[@jeffbrown7529]

I have a 2012 FLSTE3 CVO. It has lots of detachables. I am looking to put a luggage rack behind the sissy bar. I have the 4 point docking hardware, and the rack. And I am told these are compatible. any suggestions are welcome.

[@FourQed]

Just bought a 2018 Street Glide, the docking system was dealer installed. I bought a sissy bar and a luggage rack, neither one will fit. Took them back and was told to turn the right side shock absorber upside down. He said this would give me the clearance to install the sissy bar. He didn't have an answer for the luggage rack. I'm ready to pull the whole thing off, take it back and ride it the way it is. My old bike had the docking system on it and no problem. I have a 2000 soft tail, it has docking system with no problem.

[@sikbaggers]

Wow...doesnt sound like much of a dealer...if it was dealer installed I would have told him he could take it back and flip the shock. The front of the sissy bar does attach to the shock tower behind the eye, however the shocks should not stop you from mounting it, flipped either way. Unless of course they are aftermarket shocks , some do. The luggage rack should go only to the 4 points on the docking system, same as a tour pack. Send me an email with a picture of your docking hardware as it is now and the shock he is telling you to flip and i'll try to figure out whats going on with your scooter and get you lined out. [e-mail]

[@FourQed]

I found the problem, all of the black bushings were on backwards. I turned them around and now the sissybar and luggage rack fit on my bike. And I can easily remove them when they are not needed. Thanks for your video. You can be sure I'll mention this the next time I have to go up to the dealership.

[@sikbaggers]

Nice! Thats kind of what it sounded like but I wouldnt have thought the dealership would have messed that up lo...glad you got it lined out man.

Thank You! I have a 2006 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic EFI FLHRCI. I want to put a tour pack on the back which gets the better backrest for the wife (passenger).

Is this possible?

It absolutly can be done..all you need is the 4 point docking for the 08 and older bikes.

Hey Steve, Well done vid explanation ! I have an 07( a relic to some :-) Ultra Classic that I'm finally getting around to putting the detachable tourpak kit on and a detachable passenger backrest. I know this vid was dealing with the newer generation of bikes after the 07's but I think it probably will help when I go to put pieces on. Harley's instructions that come with the kit are lacking in quite a few places, surprised since they usually were more detailed. I'm wondering on the older bikes like mine, do I need any other docking hardware to put the detachable passenger backrest on, or does the docking kit for the tourpak take care of both ? Thanks for the vid and any tips you might have for doing my 07 !

[@sikbaggers]

No..the docking hardware is all the same from 09 to 24. Make sure you are putting the front 2 parts of the backrest on the top of the shocks and the back 2 go down on the front part of the Docking leaving the rear docking pieces open. A tour pack will mount ot the 4 docking hardware pieces and a sissy bar goes on the shocks and front two points. Please tell me "how" its not fitting and I can help you a lot more.
