Default 2008 FLHX


Dealer sent the wrong docking kit for my passenger back rest, question is when i get the right does it allow me to keep the fender filler spacers and the antenna ? From the one they sent it looks like that stuff has to be removed.

Absolutely not. The install will not interfere with any of those items. Just bring the patience of Job when doing the install of the docking hardware. Instructions make it harder than it really is. Your best bet is tolook at an existing set up and go from there. Good luck.

Mine doesn't interfere with fillers or antenna,but, install was a real PIA so, I just ponied up and had the dealer do it. Worth it to me to save on the aggrevation factor.

The $70 I spent for the detachable backrest was well spent
