Tour Pack Relocated 2012 Ultra Limited

When my bike was all stock the wife was pretty comfy on the back but as soon as I added the docking hardware the tour pack moved forward about an inch and things got "Crowded". I started looking at some of the sliding mounts and was impressed but didn't want to add any more weight. Really couldn't see spending a few hundred bucks on a sliding mount when it would always be slid back in the same position. The tour pack already weighs a ton and another 10# isn't much but wont help either. Once I started looking at things I was able to slide the pack back another couple inches from stock and it made a huge difference. We rode a couple hundred miles today and we were both much more comfortable. Lets be honest there are plenty of other spots to spend $$$ on this bike. 2 hours to take my time and drill a couple holes, and end up improving my bike is worth it. On to the pics.

Old car, weights, drill press, Rebel battle flag, road signs, and a shotgun on the work bench. What a great garage!

Thanks Guys, Not much of a "Man Cave" but I do mess with alot of projects out there. I had to look at the pics again.... The 70 fastback is my highschool car waiting for restoration. The boat was a junker I bought off a friend and built the trailer and casting decks into/painted ect. There are 3 flags, They have there Obummer t-shirts and I have my flag plus one USMC, and another with 48 stars. Yea the drill press gets a workout once in a while, I do alot of custom fab work but haven't built a scooter frame in 10 years... hopefully I find a basket case on craigs list to get me started again. Hmm that reminds me I got a new Stihl chainsaw calender i gotta hang up

Anywho, I hope the pics help someone with there project.
