Nothing like having an extra 12 inches, eh?

I recommend the George Anderson set back kit. It is far superior to the Kurkian (sp) type my buddy has that broke. No way the George Anderson will break.

And that's my 2 cents worth.

A little more info that may help you decide:

I have heard nothing but good about George Anderson, but here is another option from a review written by Norman Gregory Fernandez:

I found a company called Harley Comforts that was founded by a gentleman named Jeff Erkel. Their website is located www.harleycomforts.com. He designed and manufactures a Tour Pak Relocation Kit that is compatible with the Harley Davidson Detachable Tour Pak Rack that moves that Tour Pak back either 2.5 inches or 4.25 inches. He has a patent pending on his design.


Norman's web site has a ton of great info and evaluations of stuff from him personally. it is located at: http://www.bikerlawblog.com/index.php/wind?cat=133

+20 on George Anderson relocation kit. Put it on mine, and my wife absolutely loves it! So do I.... She's about 5'9", and this really gave her some more leg room. Great guy, I just called him and told him what year and model and he shipped it that day. Didn't even have my $$. Of course I sent him the check the next day. Great product, great quality, great guy. A+ kind of deal....

Another +1 on George Anderson's kit. Great product and a pleasure to deal with. Old school business philosophy. Will ship the part before he receives your money.
