4 point docking - anyone modify to a 2 point
I was thinking of buying the 4 point docking hardware and having the rear 2 docking points milled off and then re powder coating it black since all I need once in a while is a backrest when my wife takes a ride . just to clean up the look when the back rest is not on . good idea or not? please let me know

I added the chrome covers as well. Cleans it up quite nicely!
Dang . . . maybe (ok, I am) getting old but I swear they used to sell a 2-point kit. I always got the 4-point to maximize flexibility, but I looked and looked and nuttin'. Agree the 4-point kinda sticks out like a sore thumb but I liked the flexibility. Dang that's a lotta work to clean it up.

The older style won't fit the '14 and up models either.
Looks like maybe they dropped the 2-point for earlier models too, as I don't see it listed anymore.
im in luck...i still have my 2-point from my 09 flhx...any takers?

Nobody wants them. I've had my set on the classifieds section for a month with nary a nibble.

I like the 4-point...I can put the wife's backrest and still put a luggage rack on....I don't think many are going to think about the 2 extra points on somebody else's bike....Plus you might need them someday...
