    trunk on ebay

    Has anyone bought one of these trunks from ebay?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOTORCYCLE-SPEAKER-TRUNK-4-YAMAHA-xs1100-xs750-XS-650-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2eb575297fQQitemZ200612850047


    I'm wondering about the quality of the seller and the trunk itself.

    It says it will fit on any 8x8 rack which I have on the back of my xj1100 so I think I'm ok there but is there anything I need to watch out for?

    I don't have speakers or a radio so I won't make use of the speaker boxes...

    Thanks!

      About 3 or 4 years ago I bought one of these. Don't know about the seller, I don't remember who listed it on e-bay.
      As for the trunk... lots of room, cheep lock a pocketknife will pop it open (you have to keep it locked while riding otherwise road vibrations will shake the lock open, 2 full face helmets barely fit but... the lid won't close. The one I bought also said it was "made with High-Intensity ABS Plastic", Not sure what kind of plastic it is but ABS will solvent bond with MEK. When the hinge broke MEK wouldn't touch it. but that was several years ago.
      I don't know what they mean by speaker box.
      Looks like the backrest is improved. overall it's an good trunk. I can fit a small tool kit, 2 pair of chaps, a 3xl leather jacket and my beanie helmet plus a couple of other things. I've used it a lot, strapped stuff to the top of it and it's held up well so far, except the broken hinge.

      however if I had it to do over again I'd probably buy this one. http://www.saddlemen.com/store/index...oducts_id=7293
      I saw it at the local cycle parts and accessories store for $139. This one is ABS and very good quality. only problem is no back rest.

      Hope this helps.

          To a point I just dislike the seller. Depending on what bike he names in the listing title the price is different.
