Default Passenger Seat - Ultra

I'm new to this forum, so apologies in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Anyway, I ride 2-up almost all the time. I spent a considerable amount of time finding a bikewife said was comfortable. I bought a great looking used Ultra Classic. Now she claims, after some riding, the the stock backrestis not comfortable (she's too far forward, she says). This is an older Ultra (2000) and the tour-pak is NOT removable. She said it was the rear speakers, so I removed them. No luck. Now she says maybe pulling off the grab rails. Sheesh. Is there anyway to move that tour-pak back? Anybody else ever run across this complaint??

Welcome from Alaska. Try a search on here for "George Anderson Relo Kit" I like many others here have one. its a quality piece which will give you up to two & a half extra inches for the passenger.

I have found that a small rolled up towel under the backrest flap (between the speakers) gives my wife some lower back support that makes a big difference. It won't give her more room, but it might be more comfortable. Try it, maybe a simple fix for you.
Good Luck.
