I like the 4 point and have it on my bike. The tour pack vibrates a lot where it mounts on the front after a while though.

Quick question. Can a rack be placed with the 2 point system on the Road glide or do you need to have a single seat? Do you need to change the seat on the RGC to a single to put on the rack?

Here's the four point docking hardware and back rest.

I was in the same spot, 2 or 4 point. I went with the 4 point only because at some time I may want to add a luggage rack or some other accessory. The 4 point gives me complete flexibility and doesn't look bad.

Good luck.

Don't know about the RGC but on my 2014 SG I asked for the 2 point system and was told they did not make anything but the 4 point system for my bike. With the chrome caps the system doesn't look to bad when you have nothing installed. And like others have said, this gives you the option to add the luggage rack and sissy bar at the same time.

I just installed the 4 point hardware on my '14 Road King. I added the chrome caps to make it look the best it could. I went this route for versatility.
