'85 travel bag

[davez]

Can anyone tell me if there is an aftermarket replacement lens/reflector for the rear of the travel bag on the '85 Royal. I thought I saw one somewhere on the net but can't seem to find it now. I seem to recall it may have had some LED's in it as well. Any help would be appreciated!

I know there is a light kit for the 86-93 1st Gen Ventures. Not knowing the ABSOLUTE dimensions of your trunk... I'm not positive it fits. I know the LARGER trunk transition from 84-85 made the newer trunk like the 86... if it's THE SAME... it's 26 1/4" across at the widest spot (basically the attachment point for the scissor lock and 21 1/2" across at the rear corner, left to right.

 

If these coincide...

They come with one bulb (each side) for turn signal and then four across the back with inside bulbs tied together and outer 2 tied together... brake and running or tie them (all four) together.

 

I opened mine up and doubled the lamps under the red.

There is only one light kit left as of right now!

Let me know if that will fit on my trunk. I would dig that on my bike.

Thanks for the info! My brother has a '86 so I can see what/if there is a difference. I'll post my findings.

I have measured things up and I think this aftermarket unit will fit my '85. I tried to order it (since it has been indicated that it's the last one), but had trouble as there was no place to enter my Canadian address. I have e-mailed them and hope to find out more on Monday. I will post my results.

I just picked up the phone and used their toll free #. Of course, the girl I talked to wasn't too swift, so am not sure I will get what I ordered anyway!

I got a reply from the supplier on the trunk kit and they have disscontinued this item, I guess you were right about the last one. That's the way the ball bouces sometimes. Thanks for the help!!

I say it's a conspiracy.

 

SOMEONE is behind the quiet obsoleting of all the goodies for

our fabulous 1st Gen Ventures.

 

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya.

 

And there's a few 2nd Gen owners who have gotten AWFUL quiet lately...

If your stock lens is still ok, Fly-N-Lo can tell you how to light it. He did his and it looks really good! He has also threatened to help do mine, but we haven't gotten a round tuit yet.

 

You might PM him and ask the particulars.

Unfortunately my lens has cracks and missing a piece, that why I hoping to find an aftermarket pc which was at a good price. The original is still available but the cost is more than I'm willing to pay. Thanks for the info as I still hope to find a good one and it would be cool to light it.

Once in a while one will pop up on Ebay. A lot of sellers list the reflector as a light, but every so often one shows up with wiring coming out of the housing...
