Default 2017 Road Glide passenger space

Just bought a 17 Road Glide, I'm a big guy and mama needs more space than the factory backrest will allow. I have looked everywhere for a seat and backrest set up that will get me up and back plus give her more space. Any ideas would be great.

Have a guy I know that is politely over-sized. His wife is at least twice that. He relocated his TP back with some homemade fabrication. Best of luck.

You didn't state if you had a tour pack on the bike or not, but if you do, they make a relocation kit that allows the tour pack to slide back further for more passenger comfort. You could try a reach seat, but that will move you more forward. That might not help. I have a 2up Sundowner seat that provides a lot of passenger comfort but sits you as the driver up just a tad. It's a very comfortable 2 up seat, but since I ride a solo now, it will be sold. It does provide more passenger comfort however. Not sure if that would help you.

George Anderson tourpak Relocation kit is your friend.

Moves your tourpak 2" back for more room.

OF COURSE, THIS IS IF YOU HAVE A TOURPAK.

I don't have a tour pack. Just looking for anyone that might make a relocation kit for the quick connect back rest or makes one with a 2-3" setback.

HD makes an adjustable backrest. Chrome or black.
