Tour Pack Adjustment on 2013 FLHTK
Did a forum search and looked it up in my Repair Manual but could not find the answer:
Do the OEM Tourpacks have (2) or (3) adjustment positions?
The manual states that they can move 1" forward or backward-but I assume that is 1" total travel, and not 2". I looked underneath the pack and it appears that there are only (2) mounting positions-meaning my tourpack is as far back as it will go without modifying something. I have not removed the liner out of the tourpack yet for a topside inspection.
I mostly ride 2-up and want to get a rider's backrest, however; when I look at where the slot is in the seat that the backrest will slide through-I just don't see how the wife will be able to easily mount and dismount the bike without doing some yoga moves...the tourpack speakers really encroach on what little room there is back there.
Need to hear from those that ride 2-up with a rider's backrest on a pre-Rushmore era FLHTK.

2 positions...forum member DAWG has posted a $5 mod which will take a couple of bolts and a couple of holes drilled....which gives a 3rd position
search for it
it has been posted in these forums as well as ( i think) the DIY mods sticky above.
click on search, advanced search...then put in DAWG for member name and maybe try tourpak for a keyword

The Harley rider back rests lay down for passenger mounting/unmounting. Some pretty big ladies in our group have no trouble at all riding 2 up on bikes with tour paks. Unless your lady is incredibly huge this is probably a non issue.
