trunk delete for bagger

[Jeffrey268]

Does anyone know how to delete the trunk to become a bagger and how do I get the side bags to open?
Just wondering, i saw photos and thought it looked good. Thanks

That bike was never made that way, so it's up to you how you want to do it.
The closest factory thing was the German pizzabox trunk.

I think it does look very cool - I have seen a few pics. But I am sure that it is not an easy job, and there has to be a lot of fabrication to make it look right. Can't wait to see it if you do it.

I made a plywood deck and installed.

The first version was clear epoxy coated, but it stood out too much = for my liking. The next is wrapped.

I drilled a small hole over the bag release buttons and use a small rod to open the bags. The bags can't be locked, but I've always removed locks = they're too much of a hassle.
The tie down eyes are also the sequring bolts to the bike.

The deck has to be this large to cover the area that is exposed when the trunk is removed.

I made a similar deck for my PC800 and used a cutting board. I used a poly board, but there are certainly some very nice looking wood boards that might also work. Or even aluminum or metal with holes for attachment points.

thanks for the input but i think I'll look more in depth as I have seen the old trunk area covered by the trunk lid. I am looking for the pizza box trunk too, may not find one but I'll look.
thanks

Here is a nice homemade option.
