Lots of threads on HOW to do it and WHY to do it. My question is (for those of you who have actually done it, please), how does it affect handling with a passenger and luggage aboard? Let's say it's moved back 2 1/2 inches with a George Anderson kit. Just how light does the front end get when the tour-pak and passenger are moved back a couple of inches?

 

Never even noticed a difference like you describe, only noticed that sometimes I would forget she was back there because she wasn't pushed up against my back.

 

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks, frog13!

 

I have the Geo Anderson setup and have had for a couple of years. I didn't notice anything different with the handling at all. Sure made it nice for the wife having that extra room.

 

I've thought about the GA too, as that is the only way I could get a back rest for me, as there would not be enough room for my wife w/the back rest.

However, $400 dollars for the 2 items, the GA and the HD back rest does not sit real well w/me at the moment. lolol..

 

Thanks, Terrabella... thanks the kind of feeback I'm looking for.

 

George's kit only cost $75 bucks delivered and it is well worth the price especially for your passenger. As far as the backrest, check ebay. I'm sure you'll find a drivers backrest for less that $200 bucks.

 

Where is the George Anderson kit sold for $75?

 

Everyone else has said about a buck eighty for George's kit.
But I'll take one for that price if you got an extra one?
I'll even pay for shipping..

 

Exactly what I was going to post. No issues at all.
