Default Fitting a newer TourPak to an older bike

Has anyone had any joy fitting a newer style TourPak to an older bike? I'm trying to find one for my 08 Road King and the only ones I can find fit 14 onwards. I don't mind a little modification if that's what's needed.

Cheers All

Not sure if your 08 docking is the same as the 09 and up, but a 2014 easily connects to my 2010 docking. Pretty sure 09 was the year they did the frame change.

Yep ... 2009 was the "Fat Tire Frame Change"

Looking at the mounting hardware I have, this might prove tricky but I'm sure there is a way of doing it. The original bracket is about an inch too wide each side
