Wisconsin Harley Rider,
Thanks for the info on the slider relocater. Was it any trouble to install and does it change the appearance much? I understand about the back rest, that's the main reason for me to, don't want to give it up but got to come up with a couple of inches one way or another.

Mr Bill..
i just bought and installed that sliding adjustable relocater.. actually works really good.. the only problem i have nowis the wife is complaining the the crash bars that protect the saddle bags rub against her legs.. i never thought of when you move back the tourpak that rubbing the crash bars would be a problem,, Sooo, now i sit her, deciding what to do... leaving for Yellowstone in a week and ahalf.. might end up just sliding the tourpak back up where it was and NOT use by rider backrest..The reason i bought the darn thing in the first place.. unless soemone has some suggestions on what to do.. thanks.

I know it is too late, but what I did was move the rear floorboards up, so her legs clear the crash bars. It also moves her feet a little further from the heat, which seems to be a constant problem with her.

This is a cut n paste from a thread a couple weeks back. Ive included the link...it was primarily about George's Relocator. Someone brought up the fact that some ladies' legs were hitting the saddlebag support bars. I had that same problem, and bought the floorboard risers from HD. Worked like a champ!!!

and my reply....
Thought it might help ya. Good Luck!

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about...my GF is 5'1"; she had the same problem. I didnt change the bag bars 'cause I had the chrome bag rails and leather pouchs. I purchased the HD passenger floorboard risers ( # 50789-99B )...raised her feet about 2" if I remember right. She said it made ALL the difference. I ordered them from Lakeshore HD ( lshd1.com ) for about $100. (HD= hundred dollars)
Hope this helps.
