Looks great! I did the same thing but went with the king for more room. I'm going to take it off on the weekends just needed the extra room for work!

Had Tour Pak up close and liked it as far as riding went.

Did not like the way it made me get on bike....lift leg over seat as opposed to throw bent leg over passenger seat.

From your photo, it appears to me that if you had your back against the backrest, that your hands would not reach the bars. True? So that defeats the purpose unless you just like "that look" correct?

You are correct!! I love the look...always ride solo...and I feel the bike is better balanced for me (with the tourpack in the solo position), especially when I'm loaded down for a long trip. I've thought about taking the backrest pad off...but just haven't done it. My seat gives me plenty of back support.

Most of the time I don't ride with the tourpack on.

Awesome look! I've got the 4-pointing docking, now I need the solo seat and what else to make this work?
I'm 6'2"...do you think I would reach the backrest?

You just need this and a solo seat too.

Thanks Rodeo...

Now if I can just sell my stock seat, I'd put that $$$ towards the solo seat!

Post the seat here on the forum and someone will buy it. Better yet, make it for sale in your signature line so all can see it on every one of your posts. It will sell. I love the stock FLTR Seat and have no inclination to change it out right now. It's quite comfy for me!

Thanks for all of the comments and replies. Had 80 degree weather yesterday and bike night down town last night so I am just now reading the posts. It was the first time to ride this year and I used every minute that I could.
