Tour-Pak Mounting Rack Question
I recently sold a 53276-09A Detachable Two-Up Mounting Rack on this forum for an owner of a 2009 Streetglide. He says it will not fit. He sent me this e-mail:
"The back cut-out on the rack does not line up with the tabs on the docking hardware. I can grind the **** out of it in order to "make it fit" also damaging the chrome. Any thoughts or ideas? You said the part number was 53276-09A. Are you sure of this? This is the problem others were having the the earlier models."
I checked with the local HD dealer and he has never had a problem with fitment. Anyone have an idea as to why it is not fitting on the Streetglide?

Is he trying to mount it to the 4 points on the docking hardware? The front of that rack mounts to the rear upper shock mount and the rear of that rack locks in at the rear most docking tabs. I have that same setup and it fits perfect.

As CLL375 mentioned, make sure he is using the 4-Point docking kit.
It won't work with the standard 2-Point docking kit that a backrest uses.

The guy may have to pull the sides of the rack one way or the other to get it to slide onto the docking points but NO GRINDING is necessary....
