CHEAP: Universal luggage trunk
 

http://auto.sears.com/Product.htm?ca...ductId=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?

Thats an awesome find! Should I get one for on top of my current trunk?

Sears is just selling these: http://www.jcwhitney.com/motorcycle-.../p2010969.jcwx

WTF? BS. Don't consumer protection laws guard against this kind of "last minute" charge?

I'm contemplating buying 3 of them and making a rack for all 3 that clips on and off.

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...

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.

Where'd the avrider link go?

it's in ontwos luggage thread

oh yeah... DUH

I ordered one. I'll post pics when I mount it.

Sorry 'bout that. I'm not runnin' on a lot of sleep

Tennessee, thanks I'd love to see what it is like.

mount it yet? :D

Damn, and I just spent $300 on one that holds two XL helmets, has an alarm and wires up to brake lights. :lol:

Can anyone confirm if it can be mounted sideways? or is it just a top box?

Sorry, I've been workin' on a honey do list. I'll start it tomorrow.

:lol: Get to work!

Just opened this tonight:

I'll put it on this week.

was that the mount hardware that came with the trunk?

No, it's a top rack from SWMotech.

Damn, got me all excited :lol:

I ordered one yesterday since Sears was taking another 10-15% off and gave me free shipping.:lol: I bought the large case, <$45 to my door. I'll post a pic when I get it mounted.

whoa - why they taking another 10-15% off? Sale? I may have to order one no matter what it freakin' looks like

Well, I need to go get more tools, torx bolts...

yeah, those little bitches are all over the BMW. BMW uses them all over the place is all sizes. It really annoyed me at first until I got all the torx covered.

At least they're all the same size on the Buell. :lol:

the one on the TPS on the SV may as well be made of wet cardboard for all the strength it has. Stupid effin' thing.

Alright, so, I made some progress.

How expensive was the rack?

I wanna say like 120

SW Motec's instructions suck. The ones that came with my centerstand looked about the same.

Meh, they are just German.

I'm impressed w/ the quality.

Oh their stuff is freakin' great, no arguments there!

$120? screw that... I'm afro engineering mine on there! besides I don't want a rack on my bike 24/7.

That looks great, Kyle. If I get one, i'll fab up something to fit where the grab rail on the SV bolts on.

Done! $45 out the door....:lol:

Looks good. I expect to take delivery of mine tommorrow

Did you catch the sale this weekend?

lulz

It'll work for me! I bought a tailbag for last year's rally and used it once since then...:lol: I'll use this for this year's rally to carry crap on rides, souvenirs, rain gear, gear when hiking up mountains (thanks AGAIN Eric!), etc.

Hmmm, that actually looks pretty decent...

Not bad AL.. Looks like you may need a new rear before the rally, a little flat in the center, or is it just the pic?

Not bad AL... can you see behind it?

Sorta, I had a coupon code that I tried to put on top of it and it took an extra 5% off but added the shipping and a surcharge on. Total is $101.54 to my door

probably....it's smaller than my gf....:idk:

:lol:

That's great. But not surprising.

How long did everbodys cheapo trunk take to arrive, Ive been waiting 3 weeks

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

Tt is f'ed up derf.
