This vivid black chopped tour trunk arrived from the USA to the Netherlands by mail today (06-04-2010).

 

Like to see a photo once you have it mounted.

 

That's the same one I got I just had a different mounting kit. Has so much room!! Great for the camping trips for me.

 

Where'd you get it from? Looking forward to the mounted pics.

 

I got mine off of ebay, probably a lot cheaper then poor Rene got with shipping. I don't remember the ebay vendor I got it from, but here's a start.

This looks like the price and the set up I got. I have mine set up on a detachable solo rack. Love it for camping or bring the bigger things to work.

Found this Chopped Tour Trunk at EBay (autopart2000), item 220608250094.


Unfortunately those trunks are not for sale over here, so I had to order them in the USA. Shipping almost doubled the price..... so you're right, Jaron!

Started this morning by covering the rear fender to protect it from scratching and layed out the mounting brackets:




Next I put on the mounting plate to find out which holes to use:




Now I adjusted the brackets to the right position...




....and covered them with tape where they hit the chrome bars of the detach solo rack:




Took off the solo rack, flipped it over and attached the brackets and plate to the rack:




Here's a close up; the nuts that came with this kit are metric (14 mm):




Put the solo rack on the bike again:




and mounted the Tour Trunk to the mounting plate:







and this is how it looks:

 

Looks good!! This thing is going to come in handy for you!!

 

Thanks, Jaron.

Will need it on my trip across the French Alps in August.

Next project will be mounting the FXDP hardbags....

 

Looks good! And your back will love it , too! Ask me how I know:-)

 

Thanks, Johan.

Had a short test ride this afternoon. Found out that the (empty) trunk passes on some vibrations at low speed; backrest felt good at cruising speed (110kph = 70 mph) though!
