Default Solo Tour-Pak Hardware question

I am converting my 09 Ultra to the solo detachable tour-pak option. I have read over and over the description of the 2-point docking hardware kit (54030-09) and the 4-point docking hardware kit (54205-09) and I cannot figure out which one I am supposed to buy. I went to a sale at one of our local HD dealers yesterday and the guy at the counter sold me the 4-point kit. I just don't think that this is the right one when I look at the picture in the catalog.

Can anyone tell me which one I am supposed to use for the solo configuration??

I have already moved my license plate. Did that last year. Now I am completing the install. The other part, the mounting rack, is on order and that piece is straight forward.

Thank you!

Technically for the solo you only need the 2 point set. However, you can install the solo with the 4 point set and allows you the versatility should you want to do something different later. Plus they have docking point covers when not in use.

The 4 pt. will work for solo or 2 up but you need the solo mounting bracket for that position and the 2up bracket for that position. What I did was buy the 4pt docking hardware and both brackets so I can use either position by switching brackets on the tourpak, plus you can use a QD backrest if you want. Be aware you will need a solo seat to run your TP in the solo position

Got it - I will go with the 4 point and keep all options open.

Thank you!!

ps: HD should re-write the description in the catalog.

Maggie, the solo bracket will fit into the shock mount in front and use the foreward docking points on the 4pt. the rear docking points wil be unused

Default 4 Point Hardware

Yep, I can see how that would work. Excellent. (and I have a solo seat)
Seems rather odd that you have to buy two mounting racks to go from solo to two up, but I can see in the catalog they are slightly different. Hmmmmm, a good way to make moe money by the MOCO!

Thanks for the advice!
