BigMark7 Posted April 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2009 Will the trunk from an 86 VR fit on my 83? I like the style of the backrest better and was wondering if it's a straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to change a number of items as the 83 84 have a quick disconnect and the 85 up use a different type of mounting rack and the trunk fits and is bolted onto it.

bongobobny Posted April 14, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 14, 2009 For the '85 you will need the mounting rack from an '85. The rack will bolt on to yours directly. It is a nice mod to do as it gives you the larger trunk and it is still removable. '86 up are not removablebut you get the adjustable gackrest. The trunk rack has extra arms and the rear frame of the bike is different but the arms can be sawed off. The trunk mounting rack for all years is primarily the same base piece with parts added on to it for the '85 and more parts added to the '86 up...
