Tour pack/back rest mounting
Recently purchased an '08 Street Glide that came with 2 seats and equipped with Tour pack with quick detachable mounting. Thought it would be good to have a backrest when switching over to the seat used without the tour pack. Picked up a used backrest but the mounting slot on the backrest is different. Roughly on the Tour Pack from the front slot to the mounting link is 5 inches. On the backrest it's 6 inches. Which is correct?
Do I need a different backrest or? Thanks in advance.

Maybe I have it wrong, but I don't see what is that hard to understand about his question.
I'm not sure about the 08, but on my 07 you use a front mounting point to attach the passenger back rest. The tour pak uses an additional mount further to the rear. Take a look at this link, on mine I use point 3 & 4.

I have both the tour pak and an extra bitch bar with load rack for my 2004 RK. On my bike it required me to purchase two different mounting kits. You may have to go to the dealer as I had to. Best to Ya fairshake

My local HD dealer had the book on the counter and it only took about a minute to pinpoint the appropriate kits and part numbers needed to accomplish what I wanted to do.
I went with an all quick disconnect hardware kit that uses 2 points for a passenger backrest. An additional kit adds two more quick detach points for a luggage rack or a tourpak. This allows for outfitting the bike for the occasion in seconds flat.
EDIT: I measured center to center on the backrest quick connects points and came up with 5 7/8".
I have the kit boxes here somewhere with the part numbers.
