words77 Posted October 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 5, 2007 I'm in the process of fabricating a detachable trunk rack for the Royal Star Tour Deluxes, 2005 up. This system will mount on the existing RSTD side rails which accomodate the existing detachable sissy bar system. It will consist of a flat rack, approximately 8x10, horizontal bars, no uprights above the rack. This will enable one to switch between using the stock detach system with a rack that attaches to the uprights on the sissy bar, allowing a soft luggage system, or switching to the trunk rack system, which would accomodate virtually any aftermarket trunks. This would allow for full detachability of both units. In addition, I am considering construction of multiple units, if the demand exists. I know I am simply fed up with having a detachable system that does not meet my specific needs. Feedback from fellow forum members is solicited. To be specific, If I build it, is their enough demand out there to make more than one. Any thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbajbi Posted October 5, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2007 I would love to see what you come up with. I am looking at putting a Tour Deluxe removable backrest on my RSV and would also like to have a system for removing the trunk quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pecker Posted October 5, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 5, 2007 I am very interested to see what you can do. I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. Allways hoped Yamaha would step up to the plate and design something, probably cost a kings ransom though. If it looks good, I would definately be interested in procurring one from you. GOOD LUCK:fingers-crossed-emo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted October 5, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 5, 2007 The mfg should have come out with one - long ago. I ended up buying the Venture Rack etc to get my trunk to mount. to whatever your design might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERM44 Posted March 3, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 3, 2008 Will the rack you are designing work on either the RSTD or the RSV? I need a luggage rack for my RSV since I removed the trunk. I would want it to be easily removed as I would only use it when on long trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcruiser Posted March 4, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 4, 2008 I too would like to see what you come up with. Other factors would also figure in such as availability of trunks at reasonable prices, etc. Good luck with the project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted March 12, 2008 Share #13 Posted March 12, 2008 I would be interested in one. I agree with another post, it would be nice to have a detachable truck, sissy bar or go solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikealiasmike Posted March 17, 2009 Share #18 Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) No Thanks, Mines been done for over a year lol. Actually, I need to send the whole thing in for chroming. If you'd like to see how it was modified from just backrest to trunk and backrest I'd be happy to show ya pics. Perhaps you can improve on it (very likely in fact lol) Have fun, I love the options of windshield, no shield, backrest, trunk, no trunk, solo seat and the list goes on. If someone could come up with a buildable version that's not too cost prohibitive then it's a GREAT idea. I love the extra storage and lights. God Bless.
