I wanted Docking hardware for my Road King Classic for a detachable Sissy Bar. I purchased it, installed it and a couple days later I see dents in the lids of the leather bags. I figured it out that the lids are hitting the post on the docking hardware each time I open the bags. I thought that Harley screwed up. I called the Dealer and they told me that I should have purchased a hinge stop kit. There was no answer when I asked " Why didn't they tell me about the Hinge Stop Kit when I bought the Docking Hardware" So heads up if you don't want dents in your new bags.

I've lost count of how many things are in the catalog with the * that says "requires purchace/installation of blah blah" with this model. I think they do it to lessen the sticker shock of what things will actually cost when all is done.
