Default Tour Pack Mount

Any chance someone here might know why this mount won't work on an XL1200C? I have the detachable hardware kit on the bike already.

Maybe I missing something, but the application chart shows it would fit, only the XL1200CX will not fit.

In what way doesn't it fit?

I have the detachable mounts on my bike for a sissy bar and rack. The front bits need a bit of a squeeze to make them locate and the rotating clips need a fair bit of effort to turn in and lock.

I did see somewhere but haven't actually checked but the black bits on the bike are oval to allow for a bit of adjustment.

From the page I linked above --- Fits '04-later XL models equipped with solo seat (except XL883N, XL1200C, XL1200CX, and XL1200N).

I'll know for sure next week, I ordered one yesterday. If it won't work I'll return it.

HD probably state it doesn't fit because the custom comes with a 2 up seat.

Similarly HD state Sportster saddlebags don't fit the Superlow because there is already bags on that bike.

The fit is perfect. I'll follow up again when her tour pack shows up. She's going to ride from Vegas to Sturgis this year, this should help with the 87 pairs of shoes she needs to take.
