Tour Pak Relocation

About 2 weeks ago I installed a rider backrest Oh how I like it. Problem Wife and I are short and round just like a good Santa & Mrs. Claus should be HO HO. is a little tight on the Mrs. tummy so I am making a plate to move Tour pak back a few inches ( plate came out awesome if I do say so myself). Question do you guys think this is going to present any handling problems when trunk is packed. I am kinda new to the big bike so any help would be great. Thanks

No, the George Anderson relocator moves it back up to 2 1/2" and no one seems to have trouble with it.

As Stated above George anderson makes a bracket and also bagger-parts has one that moves 3 inches. I know what you mean as the minute the rider packrest goes on the wife does not like. Just installed the road zepplin for her this week, big seat ant pizza box just put on for first time in 3 years.
