Anyone out there who have issues mounting a 4 up docking brackets.
I bought an aftermarket set for my 2012 RG.
the brackets will hit the fender before the posts on the inside of the bracket is in the proper position. I removed a 2 up set that are narrower and dont have that issue.
Thanks
You probably won't like my answer, but I would return it and get the HD branded one made for your model and year.
disagree, its extremely likely that the same manufacturer in China made the HD branded and the unbranded one. I bought an unbranded one 5 years ago from Ebay and have no issues at all. Well made, fit perfectly and very nice chrome still.
Like others have said make sure the brackets are on the correct side.

Pics would help but this is your first post, so not sure if you can post a pic yet.
For comparison, below is a pic of the clutch side of the 4-point docking on my '13 King with the seat in the lower left corner. There should be about a 1/4" gap between the fender and bracket.
