  How's it working out? Did you ever put a swivel hitch on the trailer tongue?

  I have a 2008 DRZ400sm that I need to extend the seat further back.
  
  I am thinking of extending the pan so it mounts on top of the tool bag mounts on the front of the luggage rack. Because this is higher than the stock pan I am thinking of going with a slightly stepped seat.
  
  Problem is the kid and I no longer fit easily. I am hoping to stretch the seat and move the tour pack back also.
  
  Thoughts??
  
  
  
  
  DIFFERENT BIKE - but should show the tabs I want to use as mount points:

  What you want is a hidden twist clutch - Exilecycles.com
  
  It was originally designed to clear the bar of the clutch lever and puts the cable inside the handlebar. Action is the same, clutch or throttle. Same --- hope this helps

  Whatever you do, MAKE SURE you have a swivel hitch. A standard setup will limit your lean angle and can cause other issues. A swivel hitch allows full lean of your machine without the trailer causing an issue for you, not to mention if your trailer takes a hard enough hit to only one tire, that can cause the trailer to get airborn and you have the potential for it to try to filp over. Without a swivel hitch, a trailer attempting to flip over has more than a significant chance of putting you down.
  
  here's a VERY bad video of some twisties in California... (she was in a tuner car we passed and was trying to capture the sparks off my wing in the turns)
