FuzzyRSTD Posted July 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2014 I have a trunk now, thanks to Phoneman1982, and it is being painted to match my color scheme of my bike. Thanks to Kickshot and Oldbutnewrider I have the extra backrest. I am so blessed to be a part of the site here. I am very thankful for everyones help and kind gestures. I do fully plan on paying it forward to others. Thank you very very much. Was wondering if anyone took any photos of a trunk project add on ? ** Especially when using the quick release backrest. This is what I plan on doing. Cutting the sissy bar off and installing the trunk onto the luggage rack. I have saw some completed installs, but no real photos of the process. I am assuming you just cut the sissy bar off at the top of the luggage rack bracket and go from there. Any help, photos would be greatly appreciated.

Bodaggit23 Posted July 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 17, 2014 Like this?? Those are not Royal Star's correct? They look like Road Star's with V-Twins. I understand the concept is the same as far as the trunk goes, I'm just curious. I'd also like a trunk for my 1997 but I don't think they made a RSV for my generation of bike.

djh3 Posted July 18, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2014 After I posted the pics I saw I may have boo boo'd. I think the blue one is a road star, the other is the early TD I believe with the 4 pipe exhaust. Ask around over on the Delphi forums here and see if someone can help ya out.

M61A1MECH Posted July 18, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 18, 2014 The blue one is a V-Star, the silver one is Road Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfrider Posted July 25, 2014 Share #9 Posted July 25, 2014 I bought a Venture trunk support rack off ebay for under $100. Took off the passenger backrest and removed the 2 quick release studs. Put on the trunk. Easy Peazy. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bsintheair Posted March 23, 2015 Share #13 Posted March 23, 2015 I used a Matuza HD Tour pack with lights, and a Venture trunk rack. Added rubber stoppers under the trunk to take up the space between it and the rack. Ordered a Die-cut YAMAHA sticker to put where that other name usually goes. And a wiring harness from Steve (http://www.venturerider.org/forum/members/m61a1mech) to power it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
