2011 flhtk tour cheap relocate
My wife and I are bigger than average(especially me!) and to use my back rest the tour pac had to go back a bit. After looking at it for a while, I came up with this solution. The hitch is, you can go 1.2 inches, and that is about the only choice without further engineering.
There are holes for two locations for the tour pack. A third set needs to be added to the rear area, 1.1 inches forward of the front holes. Reuse the stock bolts, that end is done.
The front takes a specially made clip and longer bolts.
If you look at the frame that the stock bolt goes through, you can see that it has a half inch lip on either side of the threaded stock bolt hole. I made up a special clip out of a piece of aluminum block. Drill a hole through it for the retaining bolt, and cut a notch next to it with enough width and depth to firmly catch that lip. Takes a 1/4 by two inch bolt. Took very little time , cheap solution!
