Going to by a passagener backrest on my RK next week. Thinking of getting the HD Detachable -Standard Height and with the four point Docking kit. Anybody have any pros/cons on this set up. Also willing to hear any suggestions other than the HD backrests.

 

Good set-up. Have had no problems on my last two bikes. Quick note though. If you have any seat other than the standard RK get the tall back rest mount. Your passenger will thank you because on heavy throttling even the middle height will push hard on their lower back and feel like they may fall backward.

 

Right now just have the standard set, thinking of sending it in to Mean City Cycles to have the seat upgrades.

 

Putting on the 4 point docking kit is a breeze. I did it today.
The arrow is points to the screw you need to remove. The then the parts go in like silk.
The last pic shows how the air-shock nozzle is still available.

 

Thanks for the pics 4thgearkid. Has anyone tried to put the tour pack on the four point mount?

 

Your passenger will gain more comfort from the tall sissy bar as it will place the backrest pad higher on her back.

no tall uprights yet for the new 2 or 4 point docking system for the 09s

Q: anyone have an 09 w/4 point dock system with an upright(sissybar) and a tourpack rack(not the tourpack..just teh rack)..wondering if it would fit.... while i save up for the tourpack.

 

Currently, the only rack that hd offers is a detachable one, that is why I got the 4 point docking hardware. HD does not have a rack that fastens to the sissy bar like they did in 08'.... that I know of or my dealer knows of.

 

Get the tall back rest I have had both the mid and the tall my wife enjoyed the tall one better.
