Which Tour Pak Relocator Kit?
Probably been cover before. But which re-locator kit is the best? What about the wires. Is there enough wire for the move on a 2012 Ultra? How does it effect the handling? Thanks

I built a relocation bracket for my 2012. a couple pieces of aluminum flat bar and a few stainless bolts and it's been working great. the flat bar cost me about $10, and $5 worth of stainless steel bolts.
i was able to move make the first mounting hole about 2" back from stock. then i made 2 more holes 1".... but the initial move back of 2" was a good distance for us to fit. had plenty of wire for the move.

I work in a machine shop. Could you give me some measurements. Bar size, thickness, length width. Hole location. I assume you bolt the flat stock down with flat head screws then re-bolt the trunk down to your flat stock? Thanks

the bar that i bought was 1" wide x 3/8" thick. here's a few pics as best i could get them with out taking the tour pack loose and lifting it up.
i mounted the aluminum flat bar to the factory mounts with a stainless steel bolt, then the first adjustment back was just past the brace (at apx 2-3/8"), then in 1" increments from there.
i put a thick rubber pad between the tour pack and the flat bar as a spacer.
all in all.... i have about $15 tied up in the relocation mod, and maybe an hour or so of time put into it.

George Anderson's kit is a tried and true very sturdy well thought out design. Call him and he will send it before your check arrives. He;s one of the good old boys.
I've had 2, they can't be beat. With my co-pilot leaning on it there's no way I'm going to cobble something together.

I have the george anderson kit. It looks factory and set all the way back adds 2.5 inches of space. George is a really nice guy and shipped it before I paid him!

Had George Anderson on my 12 Limited Cant even tell it's there. The wires reaching are not a problem. Don't know how to contact him directly. But his relocater is sold here: http://www.tourpaks.com/Relocator-fo...ur-Pak_c17.htm
