Newbe here. Just traded in our 08 ultra on a 2012 CVO ultra, love the bike only one problem, wife hates the seat, with the lumbar in the backrest cushion she is to far forward, I have read about the tour pack reallocator kit as one option, has anyone done anything such as another style backrest cushion ? I cannot believe Harley put this style in production on a CVO any suggestions ?

even the stock setup has adjustment in the tourpak location - make sure you try that first

My wife griped about the seat on my road king so I bought her a new seat attached to a new dyan street bob.

Now she can gripe all she wants, I can't hear her...

Contact George Anderson...he is old school, so does not have a website, only a phone number.

Home: 309-762-6291

He makes a really nicely machined plate that has holes to move the TP back 1", 1.5", or 2.5".  Nicely made part, powdercoated black so it's invisible, and takes about 20 minutes to install.  Works like a charm.  1" back was just right for my BSR...it puts it back where it ought to be from the factory. My BSR is 5'3" and 125lbs, so 1" back was perfect.  Depending on the size of your BSR, you may have to go back further.
 
George is a GREAT guy...he will ship you the part before you even mail him the check (no PayPal or Credit Cards)...THAT's the kind of man he is.  A BUNCH of people here have his TP relocater on their bike.

Remove the TP liner and make sure they've got the TP in the most rearward holes...there are two sets of holes, and the bikes come shipped with them in the most forward position (used to, anyway) and sometimes the dealer "forgets" to move it back.  You're probably going to need George's product though...the Lumbar support takes up at least an inch of room, but is nice for the BSR's back when all is right.

Check to see if the lumbar is set to the very bottom. We had the same issue and finally figured out that there was one more spot to lower it but that it was very hard to get the dial to go into that spot while the others were easy. That combined with a kury tp adjustable relocator worked perfect.

X2 What others said and welcome to the site from Tennessee!

Lumbar backrest seams to be thicker than old tourpak backrest and moving tourpak back is helpful to fix problem

Try "vibrider", she'll never want to get off (the bike that is)

Thanks for all your comments, I will give George a call.
Wife did not like the idea about getting a new wife, Ha

  I have just installed the Kuryakyn relocator for the same reason. We moved from a 2006 Ultra Gilde Classic CVO to a 2011 Road Glide CVO and wifey complained of the smaller space and hurting her legs/knees.
Since fitting, (only takes 45mins), we are able to ride longer and no more complaints either.
This is a common complaint, I have another friend making the same change for same reason.

Mind you, I like the link to the Vibe-rider, wonder if they ship to England?
more investigation needed!
