I want to give my fender bunny a little more space of her own, so I was wondering if there is a truck relocation kit that moves the trunk slightly backwards. Cause after all she only needs another inch or two (her words, not mine.)

Not aware of any relocation kit. Which model bike? I would think seriously about wanting to move the trunk reward. The geometry of a Vision and the trunk the way it is, puts the center of gravity with a passenger sitting all the way back at slow speeds and can be a challenge at slow speeds. Moving it farther back would exponentially increase the affect

You can probably find an inch or 2 by redesigning the backrest (might need to modify the seat a bit too.

Another idea would be to add a 1" pad behind yourself to move forward a bit. Last year I used a high density seat cushion behind me when my back was hurting. Great relief, quickly adjusted to riding position change, and as a bonus I found shoulder relief due to not reaching so far for the grips. CHEAP too!
