Default Tour / trunk

Hi,
I just purchased this bike and not a fan of trunk. I have removed the adapter harness and brake light was never installed.
Does this setup have any resale value?
I'd much prefer fishtail tips than the box.
Thank for you time and input!

Yes, you can sell that setup on eBay, forum, etc.

That was bolted on? Not quick connect? What model and year is that off of?

Do what you wish, but you've already paid for it, and you don't want to have to pay for it again. I'd recommend putting it in a dark corner somewhere and having it around if you ever need it for a road trip. They're handy for the long hauls. You can always adapt it over to quick-attach mounts for ease of taking it on/off.

Just my .02.

Enjoy your new ride.

I’ve owned two new Glides in the past three years that I never had intentions of putting a tour pak on.

Guess what I bought. Twice.

I’d keep it.

You know, sounds like great advice!
Dark corner it goes.
Thank you

Theyre the handiest thing ever if you ever need more room, and look WAAAY better than add-on luggage. Lockable too

Good decision ... It's value on the shelf will one day be appreciated when it goes back on the scooter for that long trip

As long as you have the place to store it, you never know down the road it will come in handy. I made the mistake of selling and I ended up buying the same item later on.
