Docking help - 2002 Road King
Bought a (new to me) 2002 Road King, and want to take my wife along for some touring, in as much comfort as possible, as she has had lower back fusion surgery and won't take much discomfort until she says no-joy. We're "big"...I'm 6' and weigh in around 235, she is 5"9" about 220.
Bike came with a Mustang Seat (single), which fits me well. I'm planning on buying the 13" wide passenger pillion for her. Are these pretty comfortable? http://www.mustangseats.com/Product/...HTFLTRFLHRFLHX
I'd like to install a tour pack with a wrap around backrest for her, as I'm assuming they would be more comfortable than a plain padded sissy-bar? (But also thinking I might want to be able to install one of the small sissy bars for short trips close to home)
There is no docking hardware on the bike, and I've found that there are 2 kits, a forward kit, and a rear kit. Do I need them both?
I found this docking kit on Amazon that has both sets of docking hardware:
Does this Tour pack bracket mount on one set of the studs:
and this on the other?
I'm assuming that you can only use one set of mounts at a time?

I cant help with your question but I do have a detachable tour pack that I would sell if you are interested. I am in South Central Pa too. I can tell you that the detachable tour packs use a 4 point mounting dock for what its worth. PM me if youre interested in the tour pack

You only need both sets of pegs(3 pair-front,middle and back) if you want to swap between a passenger backrest to a tour pak.Tour pak by itself uses the front and rear-most mounts.Looks like you have it figured out,I think your wife will want a much more comfy seat,especially if she has back problems.
