AL GUY Posted January 18, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2008 I fabricated a trunk mounting bracket that requires no drilling or mods to the bike. The bracket uses u-bolts to mount to the backrest mounting points. I mounted a VIP Tour Pak clone trunk. I put a few pictures in my gallery to show how it was made in case some of you want to make you one. AL GUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put an X brace between each bracket upright under the trunk to beef up the mount for cross wind buffeting and to take torque stress off the trunk mount areas?? Just a thought....

AL GUY Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted January 18, 2008 Thanks for the compliments. I agree about the cross brace and will be adding one even though the mounting is already very rigid. AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
