I'm in the market for a mounting system for my 86 Westy also.  Would like to
be able to mount four bikes.  Can you tell me which Thule setup you got?  Is
this mounting on the gutters with risers to position the rails above the
pop-top?

Anybody else have opinions on the best system for mounting four bikes on a
Westy?
