Default Tour Pak adjustment

Hi all, probably too much of a newbie to be asking questions now, if so I apologize, but all the reading and searching I have done so far I can't find any suggestions.


I have added the rider backrest and the organizer and have had to put the backrest mount on the furthest back mounting hole, I have the backrest in the bottom hole too. If I raise the backrest or move forwards on the mounting bolts then the backrest is too far forward for it to be comfortable.


Although my Wife fits well in the passenger seat I would like to give her a little more room. I have moved the Tour Pak as far back as the adjustment allows.


Does anybody have a suggestion on how I can move the Tour Pak back some more, not much, just maybe an inch or so.

Search for tour pak relocators. There are quite a few threads here, discussing various different options. DK sells one, kuryakyn, a few others.

One example: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...relocator.html

Great thanks, that'll do it!
I guess I was searching the wrong thing by Tour Pak adjustment.

I just take the back rest out when she rides & lean on her. Have thought about moving tour pack back though. if I knew it would help her S nerve I would, everything I've tried so far hasn't helped here but I pretty much have my seat the way I like it.

Riding the 2016, you have the ultimate in passenger comfort according to Harley. I made the mistake of checking out one at the dealership while my wife was with me. She said it was a night and day difference in passenger comfort as compared to my 2010 with the tour pak all the way back.
Seat position, foot position, leg angle were all noticeably better she said.

The Kuryakyn one will solve all your problems. I have it on mine and it's a quality part with a simple install. http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/4605/relocator-kits

I guess drilling new holes in the tour pack is out of the question?

I really appreciate all the feedback guys.


I'm liking the Kuryakyn one and am a Prime Member on Amazon. Ordering from them for my other bikes I usually received my items the next day, 2 at most.


I also like the cost part of the Ultimate Seats one, except the drilling part. I had their Seat on my last bike and thought their stuff was nice.


But, that zero cost of breeze3215 suggestion is getting the best of me, I will have to look at that first.


Breeze, you wouldn't happen to have any photos of where you drilled would you?
