I have a 2009 road king classic, just recently got it, I looking at the docking kits for the bike to put a back rest on it. I've seen the four point and the two point kits, I just want to ride my girl around with a back rest, I don't need a tour pack or any thing like that, question is can I use the two point kit and is there a certain back rest that goes with the two point or does any quick release back rest fit both kits?

 

A back rest will work with 2 or 4 point kits. If you want a luggage rack, you'll need a 4 point kit.

 

Two point is all you need for a back rest. The mount for the top bolt of the rear shock is the other mounting point for the back rest.If you want to add a luggage rack or tour pack you would need four point.

There is two sissy bars available from Harley, a tall and a short, then you pick a pad to use.

 

If you have a solo seat won't the chopped tour pack work with the 2-point docking kit? Maybe the regular tour pack too, but since I don't have either one maybe someone with first hand knowledge will confirm this.

 

If you just want to mount a backrest you will only need the 2 point docking system. The front of the backrest mounts just above your shocks, you will see a groove to slide it in.

 

Got the two point on my SG
I kinda wish I would of got the four point now...
We'd like to have a rack & backrest for a up & coming trip we're planning.
Take it from me. With the two point, you'll be limited.
I ride solo 85% of the time so I'm not devastated.

 

With the 4 point you can also ad the luggage racks with the sissy bar.

 

Buy them both. Don't be such a cheap bastard!

 

You can use the two point dock, But, go for the four point, you will in time need it.

 

Thank you for the advise, I ride solo 90% of the time but there are a few bars I would like to take her to. Looks like a two point and back rest for my RKC.
