Solo Tour-Pak Hardware question
I am converting my 09 Ultra to the solo detachable tour-pak option. I have read over and over the description of the 2-point docking hardware kit (54030-09) and the 4-point docking hardware kit (54205-09) and I cannot figure out which one I am supposed to buy. I went to a sale at one of our local HD dealers yesterday and the guy at the counter sold me the 4-point kit. I just don't think that this is the right one when I look at the picture in the catalog.
Can anyone tell me which one I am supposed to use for the solo configuration??
I have already moved my license plate. Did that last year. Now I am completing the install. The other part, the mounting rack, is on order and that piece is straight forward.
Thank you!

Technically for the solo you only need the 2 point set. However, you can install the solo with the 4 point set and allows you the versatility should you want to do something different later. Plus they have docking point covers when not in use.

The 4 pt. will work for solo or 2 up but you need the solo mounting bracket for that position and the 2up bracket for that position. What I did was buy the 4pt docking hardware and both brackets so I can use either position by switching brackets on the tourpak, plus you can use a QD backrest if you want. Be aware you will need a solo seat to run your TP in the solo position

4 Point Hardware
Yep, I can see how that would work. Excellent. (and I have a solo seat)
Seems rather odd that you have to buy two mounting racks to go from solo to two up, but I can see in the catalog they are slightly different. Hmmmmm, a good way to make moe money by the MOCO!
Thanks for the advice!
