For an 08 RK with police solo seat

I never carry a pillion and have no provision for one. I would like to find a King tour pack mount that moved the box further forward behind me so that I could use it as a back rest, and distribute the load better.
I also have panniers so the bracket would need to be high enough to clear the lid

I can find brackets to move the box rearward, but nothing to move it forward. Is there such an item or will I have to make my own?

 

I should have looked at HD first!

53260-02A but this is a detachable unit
Is there a non-detachable one as I am not keen on how the mounts wear

I see that this uses docking hardware kit 53803-06 3

That indicates an 06 part number but what is the last 3 number?

 

I built my own.

 

That is what I have in mind but was hoping for an off the shelf solution. If not then I will make a plate to fit the Police rear rack, and mount the tour pack forward and high enough to clear the bag lids

Could you post some more pics or pm me with pics?

Not sure if I would like the arm rests when cornering - how do you find it on mountain roads. I was thinking of two pads on the box, one on the lid and one to fit the lumbar

 

Check out this thread on retiredpolicebikes.com. It was a mod that I made to the Kury Tour Pak relocator. I don't know if they make this for the pre-09 frames.

 

Hijack alert....is retiredpolicebikes.com dead? I joined several weeks ago and each time I try to post I get a message that says my response will be reviewed before it posts, but no posts yet. In fact, almost no activity at all that I can see.

 

The site has lower activity than this one but it still is live.

 

Any idea how I can contact a mod over there?

 

If private message is working for you on the site, send a PM to either Adam or gorillaman as both are site admins.

 

Thanks!
