Need some help here please!
Just got 2011 ultra and found passenger not comfortable
with the rider backrest on. Is there a way to get additional
room in the back? Passenger legs dig into rider backrest and
would be unbearable on long rides.



Thanks!!


14 thousand miles on the 2010 Ultra with George Andersons  relocator and I have never removed the backrest when riding two up. The backrest does fold over to some extent for easier mounting. Put over 6 thousand miles on a two week trip last summer with the wife, and never had any complaint from her about the backrest. There are three sets of adjustment holes, and I have mine in the middle setting. Of course it depends on how "small" the passenger is??? I would not think there would be a problem unless you are "over" the GVW of the bike.

Had a George Anderson on my '07 Ultra and am now going to put one on the '10 CVO Ultra.  Best way to go, gives the most versatility in placement of the tourpak.

Call him up and you will have the package at your door before you have a chance to send him a check !!  The guy is really an awesome individual.

And I agree with the comments about taking the rider backrest off with a rider in place.

Thanks to all!
Would like to ride w/o back rest. Have some issues and it really helps leaving it on.
We're going to be calling George and see what he can do for us!

Just ordered for the CVO...$175 shipped.  And George is a GREAT guy to deal with.  The new product is a 1 piece that simply...SIMPLY...goes under the Tour Pak.
