Default Move tour pack forward

I have a 15 ultra classic. I'm trying to find a way to move my tour pack forward 2-3 inches or so when my 7 yr old daughter rides with me. I know there is an inch or so of adjustment but that isn't enough. I can't seem to find anything that will do that so I was considering making some kind of bracket to do it but I thought it would be a pain to switch it back to the normal position when my wife rides. If there are no other options I guess it wouldn't be that big of a deal since I ride solo with it off most of the time anyway. Thanks for any suggestions

Jim

Isn't the bottom of the TP recessed where the mount bolts up? My chopped is, assuming yours is too. Only way I see you moving it that far is to make a adapter plate, (wood, metal) that bolts to the mount, and then the TP is mounted in new location using a second set of holes in the plate. No modifying of the TP or the mount. However I'd think the height would be higher now.

Strap a pillow or the like to the pack.

Thanks guys. Us1 that's kinda what I was thinking but it would be kind of a pita everytime I want to move it. I was hoping for a commercial option that slides.
The kury one for the 14 and up only goes back. I was thinking of getting that and making some spacers to mount it backwards but if I have to do that I might as well try to make it all since it's about $150.
The pillow idea might actually not be bad. I do have a few sissy bar pads laying around from my old wideglide. I could probably rig something up.
