A couple of weeks ago I put a riders backrest on my '09 UC. My wife and I are short and round like Santa & Mrs. C should be he he. I am building a plate to move my Tour Pak back a few more inches so the little lady has more Tummy room. I am pretty new to the big bike thing and was wondering Do you guys think I am going to have handling problems after I pack the trunk? Any help would be great.
on my 06 roadking, i took a trip from houston to rio dosa. i had a detachable tourpak on it. riding two up and the saddlebags, as well as the tourpak completely loaded up, and stuff in a bag on top of the tourpak, I had no problems whatsoever. I haven't made a good road trip yet since i bought my 09 ultra in december but I don't see where handling will be an issue....
