I bought a knockoff 4 point dock on eBay for my 2016. None of the parts fit together, there were no instructions, and it was missing some parts and seemed to also have additional unrelated parts. I sent it back and bought the HD OEM parts. I've also seen positive reviews for the same hardware. You will be rolling the dice if you go this route.

Considering what that dock holds why chance it? The Harley directions pretty much suck but it is as simple as it gets for the install. One thing that I read on here that helps is the leave the plastic round bushings loose. Put your backrest/tourpack/rack or whatever on there and rotate them until they come on and off easy before torquing them down.

I too have the aftermarket 4-point with all HD QD equipment. Never a problem. Purists will say HD is the only way to go and aftermarket sucks. Budget folks (me) will say aftermarket works fine. Either way, usually no one group is wrong or right.

The matte black at 1/3 the cost of HD pushed me over the edge...

Yeah, I want some cheap parts of dubious quality holding up the sissy bar for the wife to lean on. Not.
