Tour pack relocation?
I was going to drill new holes today on my 12 tour pack to move it back, as I was told the 12 didn't need a bracket to do this? When I removed liner it appears that the pack has already been moved back 1" I assume by previous owner.
There is no room to drill on the plate to move any further!
So question is, do I now have to buy the relocation kit? I like the one that tglide acc has but don't think I want to lift it up, just back!

I wanted to move mine back just one more inch, so I installed this. http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/4605/Relocator-Kit Works great. Only raised it about 1/2 inch and retains the same level front and rear.

I am using his with full 2 inch extension hold along with Kuryakyn passenger arm rests that the mounting extends back under the mounting rail that make it a bit higher back rest for the passenger. She loves the extra room.

Apparently the previous owner has already moved the pack back 1" by drilling plate? Can't go any further with that. Now I can add the racks to move it, but not sure the wires and antennas are long enough for another inch? They look tight already? Do they sell extension wires,antennas??

I have done it on several, two of them my own personal bikes.
You do not need a relocation kit, check out post #40 in the following link. It is a 14, but the principle is the same for the 09-13's. There are pictures showing where you can drill.

Got the TP moved back another inch, without using a relocation kit. Just wanted to say thanks to Dennis for the email help, and especially Kevin with DK for the phone call. At first I was skeptical of Kevin's answer. But it worked. Only problem is the antenna lead is short, and can't seem to get anymore out of the wiring harness?

Another method
Or try it the way I did on my '14; the only stock part drilled was the bracket, no mod to the trike or tour pack. Same height. Probably a bit stronger than stock, too.

I am still in the working it out phase! Put it back on yesterday, and just came back from a ride with the wife on board. I noticed the pack seem to be shaking fore and aft. Now will look at your idea, and reasse.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The stock or relocated shaking never concerned me as much as how much it flexes when Mary pushes back against it to hold herself in place around the corners. But they seem to take that punishment and keep their integrity.
I thought for sure some of the roads in the Yukon and Alaska were going to break something on the TG, they are pretty solid!
