Default 4 point docking system in the way

I had a 4 point docking system installed on my 2011 Street Glide and now find the left-side plate blocks access to the rear suspensions' air valve. Is there a tried and true, relatively easy fix for this? I'm pretty sure it will involve relocating the valve... just want to know if someone has done this and what specifically they did to give them access.

Thanks in advance.

mine is slightly in the way but you can still get it. its a little easier if you take the bag off to adjust it.

Thanks Frank. Must be that our valve stems are at slightly different angles. Mine just won't get past the docking system, bag on or off. I don't have any concerns with having to take the bag off... I just need to be able to hook up to the damn thing.

Yeah, I'm thinking yours is bent or twisted somehow, putting that stem at a bad angle. I have the 4 point and have no issues with getting the pump on there.

The 4-point docking hardware should in no way interfere with the shock valve stem.

Although I no longer have the air shocks on my Street Glide, when I did there wasn't any issues at all fitting the pump on the air valve.

Swing buy a dealer & see if they will adjust it real quick. (yeah, I know...good luck with that)
