XJMOTO docking hardware kit for Harley 1997–2008 — bolt-on removable dock points, powder-coated steel

Heavy-duty docking hardware that creates secure, removable mounting points for Two-Up luggage racks and tour packs on compatible 1997–2008 Harley Touring models.

This XJMOTO docking hardware kit supplies the brackets, dock points and fasteners needed to attach detachable luggage racks and tour packs to a wide range of Harley Touring bikes from 1997 through 2008. Built from plated, powder-coated steel and supplied with all necessary bolts, washers and spacers, the set replaces OE part 53803-06 and is engineered for a bolt-on installation with no drilling required. It’s designed for riders who want a factory-style removable solution so luggage and passenger accessories can be added or taken off quickly.

Which Harley models will this kit fit?

The kit fits many Harley Touring models produced between 1997 and 2008, including Road King, Street Glide, Electra Glide and Road Glide variants. Some specific model-year and special-edition exceptions apply, so always confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Compatible: Road King FLHR (1997–2008) and many FLH variants (1997–2008).
• Includes support for Street Glide FLHX (2006–2008) and Road Glide FLTR series.
• Not compatible with FLHTCUI 1997–2008 and FLHRSE3/4 2007–2008.

What parts come in the package and what are they for?

The box includes a full complement of brackets, dock points and hardware so you can mount detachable luggage securely. Fasteners and spacers are grouped to match factory mounting locations and to ensure correct spacing for common Two-Up luggage racks and tour packs.

• 1 pair mounting brackets and 2 docking points for removable rack attachment.
• Assorted capscrews, button-head screws, hardened washers, spacers and nylok nuts.
• Included cable strap, bushing pieces and installation instructions for a bolt-on fit.

How durable and weather-resistant is the hardware?

Components are fabricated from heavy-duty steel and finished with a triple-process coating—copper and nickel plating followed by a black powder coat—to resist corrosion under road conditions. The finish is proven by neutral salt spray testing and the hardened washers and nylok nuts help maintain clamp force over time.

• Triple-process plating plus powder coat for long-term rust resistance.
• Hardened washers and Nylok locknuts reduce loosening from vibration.
• Designed for everyday use and repeated docking/undocking cycles.

Is installation difficult and do I need special tools?

Installation is intended to be bolt-on with no drilling or cutting required for compatible models; basic hand tools are usually sufficient. The kit ships with the correct fasteners and an instruction sheet, but a torque wrench and standard sockets improve fit and safety.

• Simple bolt-on design; all necessary hardware included.
• Recommended tools: ratchet, sockets, torque wrench and hex keys.
• Front docking installation differs when paired with a rear docking kit—follow instructions.

Who this is for: Motorcyclists who own a compatible 1997–2008 Harley Touring model and want a robust, removable mounting solution for Two-Up luggage racks or tour packs. It suits riders who prefer a near-factory installation without permanent modifications and who need corrosion-resistant hardware built to endure road vibration and weather.
