Default Pushing the tourpack back some

Can you just loosen the four nuts underneath the tourpack and slide it back on a 2019 Road Glide Ultra. Wife wanted a little more space after i put on a rider back rest

The Kury setup puts it even farther back. Super easy to do with the new tour paks. I run one on my 19 FLTFU

When moving the tour pack back, especially with the kuryakyn setup, is there enough seat left for the passenger to slide back against the backrest or would that create a comfort issue with the resulting gap? Looking to get a seat that moves me back and would then need to move the tourpack back for passenger room, but am concerned about the resulting gap created by this.

I have a tiny passenger and used another brand of relocation kit which slid it back an additional two inches. No issues. Don't even see the Gap, nor does she feel it when riding.

I just happened to look under my tour pack and noticed I could move it back about an inch. So I did. Nice. Had to loosen up the bolts and then moved it back all the way. Between my wife and I one of us has gained weight while the other of us has lost weight. Seeing I want to live and not die, I won't mention who was the weight gainer.

You will only get about a inch or less.

I have a 2018 RGU and loosened mine up and slid it back. No issue it was 7/16 nuts and takes 5 mins.
