[Cougar]

Looks like 1/2" on my 06, if I understand you correctly

Laying a yard stick from front to back in the center of the passenger seat to the black pad on the front of the trunk I get 1 inch. The trunk curves back down below and the seat sits back a little below the top. What else do you need.

[Cougar]

Thanks guys, I will be right back with a photo. I thought

my wife was CRAZY ... but she is right I think..

After the conversion. she is push more forward, after

I took off the backrest had her sit on the bike. she

says YES thats more like it. Sooooo I think I will have

to have remove some of the backing off the lower part

of the back rest for her. I am getting my camera now.

see what you think... BRB

Hope it works out. I know the importance of keeper the wifes comfy. When the bike leaves my garage with out her on it I hear about later. She did not want anything to to with a bike until she was on it couple of times now she does not want to be home when the bike goes.

[Cougar]

Yep *LOL* I gatta do some Butler carving now on the

lower part of the backrest.. wonder what kind of stapler

he uses? Ummmmmm

[Neil86]

Any provision to move the whole trunk back on the trike kit?

[Bvinson]

If I remember correctly there are 2 sets of holes in the trunk. When the dealer put the new warranty trunk on mine (with the plates that are now incluned on all of the 2nd gens) my wife noticed a difference. I checked it out and the had moved it to the first set of holes. It is only about 1/2 inch or so but i guess it is enough to make a difference.

[Cougar]

That was might first thought. I think that if I made the

re-drilled holes in the trunk I could move it back but only

about a half inch if that.

 

What is strange is that the trunk is still on the same brackets

that it was mounted to before.

 

There was a false fender added, and I could move the seat back

but the backrest pushes her back forward.. I have the backrest off now

and the cover. all I need is a carving knife *LOL*

[Cougar]

BILL ?? so I can go to another set of holes? Ummmmmm

maybe that is what they did.. they had to remove the trunk to place the

new body.. looking for another set of holes now.

Thanks,

half inch would help, still have not cut on backrest yet *lol*

[Cougar]

Neal and Bill, I did jack the trike up crawled under there

and sure enough there are extra holes.. I moved the

backrest back , had to add some taller Rubber

washers bolted it down and had the wife sit on it and she is OK with

it now. THANKS! :happy65:Problem Solved. what a great bunch

of folks ,,,and INTERNET in the garage really does help

Now to find that staple gun.. glad I didn't remove all the staples

sure looks pretty under that cover though. there is even a plastic

cover (like a shower cap) over the padding in there.

If I hear of you taking a shower with the trike---this club will have to have an intervention.:rotf::rotf:Don't get me wrong, we all love our bikes but you can go to far.

[Cougar]

Gil, Just got out of the shower.. nope she did not

go in with me. she just had a bath. can not wax her

rear until June. (paint still curing) anyways..

 

I got the Trunk Pod moved back and even moved

the rear seat back just a tad. gatta find e few

nuts and bolts to finish her up! I think that is

all the problems now. (TWO) so far. but not to

bad for a first time build at my dealer. they say

this will happen on there first one they do on

a new kit.

 

Thank You to ALL of you for your HELP today!

You saved my butt!
