Has anyone experienced an incompatibility with the HD Solo Luggage Rack and the Four point docking hardware on the 2014-2016 Street Glides? I've found that the side profile of the rack contacts the fill in panel between the rear fender and the saddle boxes.
Pictures to follow later.
I've tried a new rack on another bike at the dealership and the same issue is present.
However in the 2016 HD parts catalogue the docking hardware and solo rack are listed as compatable.
My dealership has seen this problem and agree with what I have found. However HD (in the UK) refuse to acknowledge there is an issue.
So anyone else experience this problem?

I'll post a pic of the set up on my bike in a while

Pointer marks position where the hardware bracket is in contact with the infill panel. It's actually dug a small groove in the panel. its the same on both sides of the forward part of the bracket b

I have a good 1/4" clearance or more....on both my 14 SERK and 15 SESG

That is the solo rack I have.  I use it on the two point quick detach on my 13 CVO King and on the four point quick detach on my 15 CVORoad Glide ultra.  No issues on either bike.

Thanks for the feedback.
Mike is going back to dealership for the 4 point mounting hardware to be reattached and adjusted. There appears to be a missalignment on one side of the hardware.  But it hasn't stopped me touring Ireland. Fabulous roads and scenery.

 The #1 rule here......take the camera because we all know......   



If you don't post the pics, it didn't happen!

Sheep skin sure makes for a cooler ride, especially when it is wet from an overnight rain.

Off to the dealership in the morning to get the 4 point fixing hardware sorted out.

Fix didn't work. Back to Harley for more suggestions.
