Default George Anderson TP Relocator ?

I mentioned this option to the wife for more room and her first question was "If you move the TP back 2.5 inches, won't my a@@ be hanging off the back of the seat?"
&nbsp\\;
Good question I says, maybe?
&nbsp\\;
Anyone cover this for me here?

The answer is Yes at least for my wife.&nbsp\\; I cured this gap by installing a fillet between the back of the seat and the extended back rest on my new seat which was fabricated by Advanced Seating Designs located in Kilgore Texas.&nbsp\\; See picture below.&nbsp\\; it is an awesome saddle.&nbsp\\; and oh so comfortable not only for her but cured some design problems that I had in handling of the bike.&nbsp\\; He rotated me forward in the seat and moved me forward about an inch.&nbsp\\; It appears to have eliminated the lightness in the front end and the wobble that I experienced on occassion.&nbsp\\;

No, her butt does not go in a 90 degree angle to the seat back so the gap does not come into play. I have mine back all the way and my wife has never complained about her butt not being on the seat. George makes a fantastic product with super quality craftmanship.
It worked for us.

I should clarify the pain only started at about 200 miles a day, by 500 miles in a day the pain was unbearable and we had to stop for the day.&nbsp\\; Now with the fillet,&nbsp\\;extended arm rests and back rest that comes down to meet the fillet she is good to go for at least 750 miles.&nbsp\\; That is the most that we have done since the seat was installed.&nbsp\\; No pain.&nbsp\\;

I have George's Tour Pak relocater on my FLHT...as shown in my signature picture below.&nbsp\\; GF is only 5'2".....not a very big lady at all.&nbsp\\; First I tried the 1 1/4" setback and installed the HD Adjustable Backrest...which is thicker than most.&nbsp\\; We went for a ride.....came home and&nbsp\\;moved it to the 2 1/2" setback.&nbsp\\; Hands down....she's WAY more comfy there.&nbsp\\; I think my adjustable backrest takes up more room than anticipated.&nbsp\\; LOL....her feet BARELY reach the floorboards....and that's only if she has her boots on.&nbsp\\; Tennis Shoes.....lol....she just 'dangles'....lol.&nbsp\\; I did notice the 'gap behind the seat (Mustang Ultra Touring)....asked her about it...she said it doesnt bother her...mostly because she's somewhat leaning into the tour pak backrest...I think.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; We just took a 1000 mile trip in May.....she had NO complaints.
&nbsp\\;
Here's a link to a full size pic of my FLHT.&nbsp\\;

My old lady's *** fills that gap and blocks the speakers to boot!
&nbsp\\;
Made it more comfortable for both of us by a ton, though.&nbsp\\; Nice product and super to to business with.

My wife love's the extra room that the GA kit gave her.&nbsp\\; After installation, I had to buy the Kury adjustable passenger pegs due to her legs were resting on the bag bars and it was causing her some pain.&nbsp\\; After the pegs, life is good and I'm not getting nagged at, well not as much, from the back&nbsp\\;
