Just asking the question. Thought thats what forums were for, share information, tips, issues, solutions etc.. maybe asking the question of what Harley was doing about it was a bit much. I ask because my bike will be shipped on the 14th and I will be adding some of the same accessories and want to know so I don't run into the same problem. Good Luck.
When I get an answer from HD I will post it.. but for now this is what I am doing to rectify the problem. Maybe I'm overthinking this (I normally do) but if there is an issue then HD needs to fix it. The bushing on the tour pak mount is only .400 wide so I need to figure out why the spacer it mounts to is .550 |

While I'll admit I'm not sure what your exact problem is, I have noticed that the tolerances of docking hardware and the things that dock (tour packs, back rests, luggage racks, etc.) are very sloppy at best, and adjustments are often necessary. Having been thru quite a few bikes I have found that what fits one may or may not fit another and that if you have more than one docking piece that they may not all fit the same bike   Good luck! |

I just installed the four point hardware on my new skunk and the back rest fits. It's tight but does seem to work OK

Went to my dealer today.. my 09 was still on the floor so I took my dial caliper with me... the spacer measures the same 0.550"...
So.. tried my new backrest on my old bike... 4 point docking hardware, only chrome.
The problem is the same.... it appears the 2 point dock mounts just fine....
Pics tomorrow.. I'm off... gonna put it back to how its supposed to be then tweak the backrest to fit...seems thats where the issue is.

I measured my #2 spacer at 0.50 inch with a ruler. I have the 4 point docking system in black. Luggage rack and passenger back rest mount with no problems. Don't have a tour pack. I hope that helps.

G-52, Thanks for your input... are you using the chrome or black backrest? |

I have the chrome backrest, bought in 2009 for my Street Glide.

I have a 4 point docking kit going on next week. My dealership is going to do the install since I am not mechanically inclined. So, I'm sure I'll pick it up and never be made aware of any of the spacer width problems ... jus sayin

Seems its not the spacer as it is the backrest.... when I checked the docking of the backrest on my wife's RoadKing, I forgot it was the 2 point dock. GOnna take it all apart and try again.. and take pics along the way... |

My TP is getting painted now, and the 4point and TP rack getting powder. What did you do about the stock antennae mount? Did you relocate to fairing or  ? Pics would be nice as well please and thanks. |

Harley sells an antenna relocation kit ... the back antenna is disconnected and the new one is located behind the fairing.

Yeah I don't really care to pull the fairing off yet, but when I do I'm planning on a splitter and hidden fairing mounted antennae so I can maintain and use the rear antennae when not using the tour pack so I can get a little better reception when I'm riding the edge of signal area (where i live). |
