Can someone please share the part number of the elusive "long" or "different size" BLACK CAPS for the 4 point dock?
I hear rumors that they exist, but where? One Harley parts guy said yes, the other said no... Good grief.
Anybody have these? Share part #'s !!
Thanks

no the caps come in like 3 or 4 different sizes...I don't remember off hand which ones are needed.....I do hate how the button heads are still chrome on the black docking kits. Even the docking points for the backrest on my X-bones have chrome bolts. Black would be much less noticeable.
Tell us where you derive your emphatic NO from...
You are on the hot seat now.

Here's the ones I got for my 4-point dock. Mine are chrome, but maybe this will help you track down the black part #.

FYI the 4-port requires 2 of these kits....

Notice how your upper two caps do not cover the entire thing? That is not as big an issue when all is chrome
When you buy the black it is an issue as the caps are too short and the chrome shows and stands out.
The black 4 point needs "longer" caps for the upper two mounting points.
Some people claim to have seen such caps in the wild... We are waiting for proof! (and hoping too!)

I see what you mean now, even in the parts catalog with the black 4-point and the docking covers it still shows some chrome.

Will have to inquire as to what they mean by "large"
Thanks again.
