This may be a dumb question, but I don't have a tour pack yet so I don't know. Why would a tour pack affect the drivers backrest, or am I just reading these post wrong?

RE: Relocating Tour Pack
I just put mine on last nite at work. I will say when I mounted it, it was in the 2 1/2" position. My co-worker (6' 3" @ 260#) hopped onand had MORE than enough room between the driver's backrest (adjustable)and tour pak....so I moved it to the 1 1/4" position. It's easy enough to adjust.
Hopefully, I'll know more about it come Monday....if the weather holds up.

Do a search for George Anderson, cant remember who has the pics but you will find them. This guy is great, I just got off the phone with George and he shipping my kit today and he just asks for me to send him a check in the next couple of days.

RE: Relocating Tour Pack
I've got my George Anderson kit set for the furtherest back position, but the tourpak itself is in the forward position (based on the bolt holes in the bottom of the tourpak)....haven't been able to get the OL out for a ride yet as its been too cold for her (she doesn't like having to get all bundled up in layers and feel like the michilin man and then try cliimbing on the bike). I'm hoping to have space to satisfy her needs while still allowing me the use of my adjustable backrest. Now if the weather would just get out of winter mode.[:@]

I have thought about that also. So with those setting do you end up with about 2 inches?

I just drilled a new set of holes as far back as I could get on the luggage rack. Worked like a charm and gave me just enough room for
a passenger or my Kuryakyn bag.

Buy 1 inch square AL. tubing, polish, drill holes where you want to the tour pack to set, drill hole for rack mount on bike, buy plastic black square caps, it looks like OEM for 1/10 the price.

RE: Relocating Tour Pack
I just installed GA's kit this week but its been sitting in my garage all winter.... I like the kit - YES you get an additional 2".. but that 2" ended up costing me a few more bucks...... my wife is 5'0... she could use the stock floorboards b4 the install.... w/ 2" more to compensate for my bent riders backrest.... I had to order the passenger kit relocation kit ($100), a set of low profile saddlebag guards (around $150).... I am still waiting on my delivery from Chicago Harley for the 2 items -- so we will see in a few days
all in all I like the kit.... and after I bent my riders backrest w/ a torch it was much needed eventhough my MRS is petite
the install was relatively easy although the directions are written in 1 big paragraph.... if you use common sense it an easy install.... nice product, good guy
servey says..... BUY IT
