NO WAY need to keep my health, besides its not a matter of how much a person weighs. Is all about having the room to enjoy a days ride. My rider backrest did make the standard back seat smaller for her.
I don't have any pictures, but as the bike sits on the kickstand it don't look any different. Looking straight down there is a gap between the tour pak and the seat, not enough to bother me but sure made installing the seat bolt a breeze

Why doesn't anyone have any pictures? I am curious.
I mean a picture of the actual mount. Not the difference before and after bike pictures.

Ordered mine today, I'll try to post pics after I get it. George is a heck of a nice guy!
After reading Gilbos440rt's post I'm wondering if there's more than one way to mount this. Has anybody else removed the U bolt that he's referring to?

The rest of the pics
Just to show what the 1 1/4" setting looks like. Hope this helps! Installation was a breeze did it in about an hour by myself, would've gone even quicker with a extra pair of hands to hold the tour pack, etc.

Once again....George comes to someone's rescue with his creation. GREAT GUY!!! My pic is kinda small...but the relocater is on.
My GF had me try it in BOTH positions....she preferred the 2 1/2" position....said DEFINATELY more room....she's only 5'1"...small frame. She just likes the extra room, especially on those HOT SUMMER DAYS!!! I'd say there's about '4 fingers' spacing between the Tour Pak and the seat......and like I read above....sure makes it easier to get to the seat screw. Im looking for a small tool bag that'll fit in that gap...attaching it to the mount. It'd be great for tire plug kit, spark plugs, etc. I also added the Tour Pak bushing kit GILBOS 440RT (forum member) makes. They're much better than the MOCO's bushings.
The ONLY consequences I see are that the Tour Pak jumps around a little more (fact of life with a Harley)....AND Im gonna have to put the Reduced Reach Passenger Footboard Mounting Kit (HD part # 50789-99A), which raises the pass. floorboards about 2 1/4" so her feet will reach 'em.... about $100 from either Zanotti or Lakeshore (LSHD1). Hmmmm....HD does mean $100.
Good Luck....
