Default Four point docking hardware?
Hey everyone. Tried searching but ran short. Bought a new to me 05EGC. It has a four point mount/docking station and your pack on it. Got and function is fine. The thing I’m trying to figure out is the mounting pattern itself? I have my bike next to a co workers. The distance front to rear on my docking points Is shorter then his. Is this a model year thing or a design thing? All racks I see are for 09 later?

There were changes but not knowing your coworker's model or year makes the comparison difficult.

His is an 11 road king I believe. It appears to be a 09 model year change?

I think it was 09 when it changed not 100% sure. I had an 01 Road Glide and had sissy bar and luggage rack. Neither will fit my 15 ultra limited.

That’s kind of what I’m seeing. I assumed the four point would be universal. But it appears I need to find an 08-older rack

Four point docking began in 09. 2008 back to 1997 uses different docking hardware, specifically the 53803-06 and 53804-06 docking point hardware kits for either solo or two up setups.

That makes sense. I have no idea what is on mine then? It is a four point dock, but the length between the pins is certainly different then the 09+ hd version

You have both the 53803-06 and 53804-06 docking kits allowing you to run a tour pak or upright or solo setups.
