    Little OT but how did the trunk break? I have been looking at those trunks on ebay and am.just wondering if they are worth it?

      The trunk is not of high quality

      When/if you order the trunk.. skip the luggage rack. The trunk is too flimsy to support anything like even a leather jacket.. and then open and close trunk with stuff on luggage rack is a big no-no. Mine broke from opening it with a heavy leather jacket bungied to the luggage rack on top of the trunk..

      Overall is has served me pretty well.

        SUPER NICE!!! Wish you were closer to me in Tejas...
        U feel like delivering it to me and flying back home???
        I'd only charge you $1899.00 to take U to Austin airport 65 miles away ( U know with the price of gas and everything)...
        But seriously, I'd be all over that if you were a little bit closer, I'm tired of paying someone else to deliver the last 3 bikes I've bought outta Cal and Arizona.
        GOOD LUCK with your sale, you should have no problem getting your asking price as nice as it apperars to be

          Hey, I know that bike! Man, if I had the funds I'd buy her back from you.
          If anyone is considering this bike, rest assured that she has led a charmed life and never been abused. GLWS,
