View Full Version : CHEAP: Universal luggage trunk
http://auto.sears.com/Product.htm?catalogId=10624&productId=2022700
for $32 (med) or $42 (large), it may be worth a try for you cheap skates. If I didn't have my luggage, I would probably try it.
can those work as saddle bags? or only as a trunk?

I am sure if you were a good machinist you could pull it off, but I wouldn't be able to do that.

For what? to build a decent rack?

Sears is just selling these: http://www.jcwhitney.com/motorcycle-travel-trunks/p2010969.jcwx
WTF? BS. Don't consumer protection laws guard against this kind of "last minute" charge?

Be worth a shot, cheap enough that resale for close to cost might work out if they didn't fit right.

Trip can you answer this? From my local board...
Have you ever seen one up close and personal? I'd want to lay hands on it first. I wonder if you could remove the crappy backrest and just snug it up to the sissy bar? I can guaranteee my wife won't give up her office chair backrest for the one on the trunk.
Also wonder how much it weighs? They don't say. Most luggage racks I've seen have a limit around 10-12lbs, so if the unit weighs 5lbs. you're really cutting down on capacity.
no, i can't, advrider would be the place for that.

once I see how ontwo (or was it pdog?) makes out I'll see about orderin' one.
I may find an extra passenger seat and rig something up to bolt to the bottom of the case rather than put it on a luggage rack though.

Wasn't me. I want to Nelson Rigg saddlebags to complete my set.
However, if I was going to add one, I would fab a bracket that would bolt right into where the grab bar sits. Then extend it backward. That way 1. I could use it with the wifey on back and 2. I could use it with the tail bag and saddlebags on

I might get one and bolt it to a spare seat. If it can hold a 150 girl, it can hold this thing.

About that.
I was told it was supposed to ship on the 24th...
Its been almost 2 months for an item that was in stock and that I have gotten 3 separate shipped emails on. I cancelled my order
crazy, advrider probably swamped those fuckers

Yeh but at least tell me when I call and ask, each time I've called they have told me that its in stock and will ship on XXX date arriving on YYY date then I get a confirmation email. YYY date comes and passes no package so I call again and get the same line. This was the 4th time I was told it would ship by the end of the week and I should get it next week so I cancelled. I've never ordered anything from sears before and I never will
