I like the Legends Vintage Motorcycles tour-pak slider and it looks like there was a lot of thought put into the design. I don't like the looks of the part that sticks out in the back when it's in the solo riding position. Plus you have to use up some of the tour space for storing the rear seat pad.

I installed the Legends Tourpack the first of February, but only have a couple of hundred miles of riding on it so far. My first impressions are that it is a very high quality construction and seems to be very comfortable. It has several positions that can be adjusted to, for example, all the way forward with the backrest in place, it seems to be a solid wall that you are leaning back on. Almost like sitting in a car seat.
If you take the back rest off and move it back one click, you can really stretch out for a change up on a trip. The backrest is easy on and off, just sliding into two pipe like holes in the seat. You can put it in the tourpack or saddlebags while riding this way.
The passenger pillion can fit in the tourpack or be left at home depending upon your choice. They are coming out in the Spring with a slightly larger passenger pillion that leans the passenger back a little more that they will upgrade you with.
The seat and backrest seems comfortable so far, just have not tested it on a long trip yet. It is my understanding, that the Hoka Key Winner one year used a Legends seat. Seems like to me, that I sit slightly further away from the handlebars with their seat than the stocker.
Some folks do not like the slider being visible when it is all the way forward, but it can be run in the rear position a little more to not be quite as visible and use the backrest. I don't mind this myself, and it is all about comfort to me.
so far so good. I'll try to update my opinions after riding a little more this spring.

Here are four pictures that I just took. Picture 1172 shows the slider all the way forward with the backrest on. As you can see, the backrest fills the gap below the top cushion to form a solid backrest.
Another feature of this setup, is your rear stereo speakers and right there where you can hear them.
Picture 1173 shows the side view with slider all the way forward.
Picture 1174 shows the slider one click back from full forward position.
Picture 1175 shows the rear with tourpack all the way forward.
There are two clicks for the forward position and two clicks for the rear position. So there is some adjustment for change ups.

You are welcome. It is a little pricey, but you do get a new seat and rider backrest in the deal also. Some guys would invest that much building motors, I'm happy with the power of my bike, it is an investment in comfort.

Foley Flats, thanks for the pics and experience. For guys who want the TP on the bike all the time, PLUS being able to have the TP in two-up and solo positions this is a GREAT product--because the alternative is buying the HD two-up and solo detachable tour pak racks; buying two tour paks or removing and reinstalling one TP on either of the detachable racks; and, buying an additonal solo seat and passenger pillion or swapping out the two-up seat for the solo when switching is ususally a more expensive alternative.
For me, I prefer riding w/o a tour pak which is 90% of the time, but have the HD solo and two-up detachable racks with two tour paks. I use the solo set-up for running errands when I need the storage space or week-end solo trips; and, the two-up rack on longer trips.
Props, again, to Foley Flats for the pics and replies.
