trunks for S-40 (Read 408 times)

kimchris1 Serious Thumper Offline Pink Posse Rider... Posts: 2135 Belfair, Washington Gender:	trunks for S-40 10/27/09 at 17:32:35 Has anyone here tried a trunk for their bike verses the saddlebags? I am thinking of heading in this direction. I would need to add a luggage rack in which to attach the trunk to. Again wondering if anyone here has taken this step towards more storage?

I ended up using the mounting plate and drilled holes right through my OEM rack to mount them through. Here's the guy's URL: http://shop.vendio.com/evan2002

mornhm - FSO Serious Thumper Offline HMMM Posts: 1105 Gender:	Re: trunks for S-40 Reply #11 - 10/30/09 at 05:42:34 I had a soft trunk on my Savage, sitting on the luggage rack and attached to the backrest. It was big enough for a FF helmet (barely). Currently I have a hard trunk on my Connie. I would not do a soft trunk again. It was water resistant, but not water proof, so anything inside in a long downpour was going to get wet.

I had put a Dowco Overnight bag on my Savage.

It is much lighter than a plastic trunk and does not cause the luggage rack to flex when going over rough pavement.

I fastened it to the luggage rack by placing a sheet of aluminum in the bottom, drilling through the bottom and placing a carriage bolt and fender washers through the slots in the luggage rack. It worked well. It's big enough to carry a laptop and some other small items.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.
