I've read good things about the George Anderson relocation kit. You have to call him - 309.236.0952

If you search you will find where someone made their own plate and posted drawings and measurements. I actually think it's on this forum somewhere but don't remember fir sure. I needed more than an inch, more like 2"-2.5", and spent the money on a premade one. I liked using a plate rather than just drilling more holes, it seems much sturdier.
One thing though, moving the pack back will create a gap between the seat and the tour pack that can be uncomfortable for the passenger. I also bought a filler piece that you cannot really tell is there but the better half likes it a lot. She likes the extra room as well.

this'll cost you $5 and take 40 minutes
but first!
the tour pak is shipped from HD with the TP in the forward of 2 possible positions- the dealer is supposed to move it rear-ward during prep, but this is sometimes skipped.
so look

Thanks my pack is in the rear position , the rear two holes would be easy to drill but its the front two that i question , there is 3/4 " from the edge of the base plate to the existing bolts so if i go through the base a 1/2" is all i gain
There is still room to the front of the pack but if i drill there its just through the pack itself
Thanks Mike i will look for the posts

For the life of me I cannot find the receipt or the company. I thought I even saved the package.
I looked at DK but did not want to 'drill holes'. Product I bought did not require them. Kuryakyn one is way too heavy/bulky and I've read of folks having issues w/ them (cant recall details)
I plan to move the pak back again this week, will look at the part and see if the company put their name on it. It was the best solution I found for moving the tourpak backwards (without drilling).
