I see some of you that have positioned either the Electra Glide Classic tour pack or the chopped tour pack in back of the rider (as opposed to behind the passenger). I like the way it looks and seems it would be great for back support and, possibly, weight distribution.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone position the larger Ultra Tour pack behind the rider. I know they make the hardware for the smaller tour packs but don't know if that works with or if they make different docking hardware for the larger packs.

Has anyone done this? If so, please post pictures.

 

This is not a very good picture but you can see I've got that setup on my '03 Ultra Classic. I've got a solo Mustang seat mounted. I have been thinking about doing the same thing to my '09. I think the part number for up to and including an '07 solo quick release mount is 53260-02.

 

Bikes,
That's what I was looking for. Thanks. Wish I could see it from the side but it's nice to know it can be done. Does it ride differently/better as far as weight distribution? Can you tell the difference?

 

SWEET!!! Great idea.

 

I've got that set up, can't find a good pic though. Nice set up for trips, some people poo poo the king pak backrest because of the armrests but I like it, makes it a little harder to get into the side bags, not a problem though. Kinda like ridin my lazyboy. Then for 2up all I have to do is change mounting brackets on the bottom of the tourpak

 

Found one from the side, not very good though

 

It was a lot more comfortable. I couldn't tell any difference in weight distribution. The only thing about the setup on an Ultra Classic is, if you had a backside as wide as mine use to be, the rear speaker were hard to hear. You know what I mean?
