Who does this belong to? (trunk w/ backrest/armrests in TN)

[SpyderGirl]

While in TN I saw a Spyder at the dealer up in Seiverville/Kodak with what appeared to be a Harley Davidson trunk with backrest and armrests on the back of what I remember to be a silver Spyder. If this is you, please speak up. I am curious as to what you used to mount your trunk. I am considering doing something similar with a trunk from a Goldwing.

Thanks!

No, that wasn't it. It was definitely a HD trunk, I'm almost certain. And they had mesh nets on the rear passenger hand-holds where they had a bottle of water rested along with a remote control of some sort. The trunk also had a brake light on the back. The trunk was black if I remember correctly. It was parked there on Wednesday the 23rd around 10:30AM.

It was a very solid mount so I wanted to know who owned it so I can found out how they did the mounting. That's the only part I am not sure about. I as thinking maybe a kewlmetal luggage rack might work as a good baseplate. I want to find a newer model GL1800 trunk to put on the Spyder.

A pic would really help----- did you get one of it?

I do recall seeing someone with a net-bottle holder for the rear rider on some bike down there.

Two ways to do it. Reduce the size to an appropriate size (800x600 as I recall), then use the "Manage Attachments" button in the "Additional Options" section below the test box on the reply page to upload from your computer. Second is to download picture to a hosting service like photobucket. Then copy the "Image Code" (not the photo page html) on the photo page and past it into your post.

Hi Tourist. Didn't my wife and I meet up with you guys in Niagara Falls this spring and ride around there for the day? That backrest and the description of it are very familiar sounding.

This is the one we saw in Niagra Falls, not sure but I don't think it is the same one.

Of course, maybe they just took the fur off the seat. Could be the same one after
all.

 

[bjt]

Sure is the same one. They removed the seat fur and added Givi bags. Same passenger floorboards. :thumbup:

 

[Questions]

Yes that would be us. I guess our hybrid is still rare enough ( or odd enough) to be remembered.Sorry we could'nt stay longer at the falls it was fun with everyone.

WOW, it looks great. Good work! :2thumbs:

I am glad I found out who the owner was. Well I can't weld, so that's probably not an option for me, but thank you for posting up and showing everyone pictures. That's a really nice set-up you have.

How comfortable is the passenger ride with that thing?
