How to Check If You Need Mounting Spools (Docking Kits) for a Sissy Bar or Luggage Rack
Before purchasing a sissy bar or luggage rack, it's important to determine whether you need separate mounting spools (also called docking hardware) for installation. Here’s how to check:
- Look for existing docking hardware – If your bike has small, round, or oval-shaped anchor points near the rear fender, it likely already has docking hardware installed (See Pictures Above).
- Check for hidden mounting points – On some models, such as the Indian Chieftain, the docking spools may be covered by a body panel insert between the saddlebags and the rear fender.
- Inspect for bolt holes – If there are only bolt holes without protruding spools, you’ll likely need to purchase a separate mounting kit for proper installation.
- Verify with the us – send us a message! We’re here to help and ensure you get the right fit for your motorcycle.
By checking these details in advance, you can ensure a smooth installation process and avoid compatibility issues with your motorcycle.
