Any other way of contacting George other than phone ? Would like to enquire about getting one of these shipped to the UK.

I guess you could write him by snail mail...if he has an e-mail address, I've not seen it.  He's good about returning phone calls, at least here, but being overseas may be a different story.

Whatever you've got to do to get in touch with him, it's worth it.  I just installed his plate and it is a quality piece...took all of 15 minutes with a bit of help from my wife to hold the TP up while I bolted the plate down.

Just put the relocation bracket on my '11 RGU from George. Great guy to deal with. Check and bracket crossed in the mail. Went on as easy as described. Everyone was tied up so I sat the TP forward on the seat and di the install solo. BSR loves the extra room to stretch her legs without kciking me in the calf. 8)

I ordered George's relocation plate from www.tourpak.com.  I ordered it on Friday and it was in the mailbox on Monday.  Las Vegas to KY!.  The web site takes credit cards and PayPal.  Installed it in 20 minutes and my wife LOVES it.  She said it was definetly worth the $186.95.

You could have gotten it directly from George for $175 (shipping included), and you would have had it almost before you wrote the check.  (He ships it almost immediately after you order it.) :nixweiss:

It must be aluminum...I just tried to stick one of those small magnetic levels to it and it wouldn't stick.

Hey Guys,
Kuryakyn does make a wonderful tour pack relocater. I had it instaled on my CVO 2011 Road Glide Ultra. Works great with a
full 6 inch "back and forth travel. Check into it. Papadoc

I recently upgraded from a 2011 FLTRU and assumed the passenger seat space would be the same... but it's not and looks to be a few inches shorter back there. There isn't a lot of space for my wife with the driver's backrest in place, and I ended up buying George's relocation kit. The install took about 25 min and my wife is very happy now. There's a bit of an ugly gap where the fender shows through between the seat and backrest, but not a big deal.

It would have been nice if HD thought of this and built in some adjustability, but the kit worked very well and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

BTW, George was great to work with and very helpful. I ordered the kit on Friday and got it on Monday.

I agree, especially if you put the TP back in the 2.5" position.  At 1.5", it's not too bad.  It would probably be possible to go to an upholstery shop and have a thicker hang down pad thingy made to better fill in the gap better, but I'm not sure that would work in the long run.

You can bet that HD has noticed the TP relocation issue...if they ever offer one, it'll be $299 for the black version, and $399 for the Stealth Chrome version.

Just put the kuryakyn adjustable on my eg ultra. It is stated that it won't fit but it does without any mods. It's a bit tight next to the boom system,but it clears with about 1/16 inch to spare.

Talked to George today for a while, ordered from him at $165.00 shipping included.  Cool guy to talk with, learned all about him, retired pattern maker, his friend does all his CNC work on the kits then he gets them powder coated and ships them.  Very trusting soul, shipping Monday prior to check arriving, you have got to love dealing with such a great guy.

Cannot wait to get it, was going to make my own modeled after his, but after talking to him decided to buy his.

He's a hell of a guy...don't find many like him these days.  Great product too.

Kuryakyn makes a filler pad to go along with their re-locater kit. I have George's re-locater on mine but i filled the gap between the seat and TP with the Kuryakyn filler pad. My T/P is set back 2" and the you can hardly see the filler pad.
