I installed 4 point docking hardware on my bike. It is a 2009 rkc. this is and advice to all riders who has same bike: be carefull when you open your leather bags, theres one screw on the 4 point docking hardware that scratshes the leather everytime you open the bag. the leather on my bags is starting to peel because of this screw and bike has only 6 moths.
It is a shame HD cant do something right!
just be carefull when you open the lid

That's why they give you that clear piece of adhesive-backed film to cover the bolt head, and the directions that tell you to be careful opening your bag, and the diagram that depicts where the bag will contact the bolt head.
Yeah, those H-D folks sure are dumb thinking people would read the instructions.

Bobernet: the adhesive last on the bike like a month and because it is clear you dont realice that you lost it (maybe riding) until you peel the bag once. including a sticker in order to solve desing problem its stupid. I will try to find a flat head screw that fits.
Bob46371 the screw that scratches the bag is not one of the four points screws, it is the one in the middle that holds the 4 points docking hardware to the bike so the magnetic covers wont help with this issue

what I did is put a piece of transparent rubber with a little of superglue in the screw (just a little). It works quiet well but the damage is done. No matter instructions provided, the sticker dosent work . As I said HD should test their products a little bit before selling them, sometimes they remind me Microsoft corp and windows vista someway...
this makes me think about the visor trim ring crap and the instructions lol
As I said, DONT TRUST THE STICKER

Buddy of mine had the same problem on his 09...Once his tour pak came in and it was installed it was no longer an issue unless he takes the tour pak off, but the only time he takes it off is during a wash and wax. Clearly a poor design by the R&D folks at HD!

it is not the mount, it is one of the screws that holds the hardware to the rear fender.
3 screws on each side holds the 4 point docking hardware to the rear fender, well, it is the first screw (the closest to the seat) the one that scratches the lid of the bag if you full open it. the problems is not with the docking points so you dont need to buy the chrome magnetic covers if you dont want to.
