The bags are 88306-07, but there are several types of Docking Hardware listings in the catalog for the model bags I have: Models equipped with detachable accessories require 88256-07; Models without detachable accessories require 53932-03A; and models with rigid accessories require 88298-07. Rear directional relocation kit also shows two different part numbers.
I also have the detachable sissybar and the black caps which cover the fender docking hardware when I'm not running with the saddlebags.
However, don't rely on my post, especially if you don't have the same bags since the docking hardware may be bag specific.

OK. I took one of my bags off today just to see what it looked like. Mine has 2 14mm bolts (Im in canada). One on the inside of the bag and one on the bag by the turn signal that go through the strut and ( i think) into the fender. It this the same mounting kit you have or is your some sort or quick release kit? My bags are different than yours (unsure of the p/n, they came with the bike).

awesome.. my dad, my neighbor, another guy, and myself are always trying to plan a trip to ride from Jersey to Sturgis..but it's like a week's ride out, a week's ride back, and a few days to hang out down there.. so the logistics part of it is difficult as hell..
side story.. the taillight i got from J&P Cycles i despise.. it's supposed to be smoked, but it was clear with a chrome insert inside of it, and a big red bulb.. it was only $30, and im not returning it because i dont want to pay to ship it back nor pay the restocking fee.. so my current project for the day (while the sun is shining) is to hit it with some VHT Nite Shades and make it darker.. the sides i'm doing 3 coats (where the chrome insert is and light doesn't shine through), the back lens i'm doing 1 coat to give it a light light tint, and the license plate window i'm leaving clear, as per state laws.. so far it's coming out pretty nice.. kinda makes me wish i had done it to my red lens stock taillight and saved $30.. oh well. I'll post pics when its done

It takes you a week to get from Jersey to Sturgis? Shoudnt take much more than a couple solid days riding. You guys must plan alot of stops along the way. We rode down from Edmonton, Alberta in 2.5 days.

well it's 1700 miles, and that's highway.. and keep in mind they're some older guys and don't want to be doing 500-600 a day, so we give ourselves enough time, ya know? and who wants to be taking the highway the entire ride? gotta see some countryside somewhere...
