Default Tour Pack on Street glide with two up seat

I have been researching putting a tour pack on my street glide for longer trips. I have the two point attachment bracket for the passenger back rest already. I would like to avoid having to purchase a solo seat. I was wondering if anyone has made or knows someone who makes a taller bracket that fits over the passenger pillion?

Perhaps just buying the four point docking bracket would be better. Driver wouldn't be able to use TP backrest. But you could always purchase driver's backrest.

consider that the higher the weight, the less fun it is to have the T/P swinging around back there.

4 point sets show up on the classifieds all the time, or you can get a stock style T/P mount and bolt on/bolt off in under 30 minutes.

Harley makes one. Ask the dealer for the one up bracket.

i believe the one harley makes is for a solo seat am i correct? I don't want a 4 point bracket. i already have the two point and it works just fine. I am not worried about the weight from the tour pack.

Some one has to make a bracket that is taller and fits over the back of the passenger seat?

I made my own bracket to mount the TP above the seat off the passenger backrest mounts. It's not that hard to do if you have access to a few hand tools and a torch and welder. It's really comfortable since it's custom made to fit me. I lowered it an inch and painted it since the pic was taken.

that looks awesome, did you start off with the quick detach mount from harley or is that one a bolt on?
