    nice

    I hadn't seen that fairing before - seems like I've heard of a Tracy but no pics before now.

    Good setup with rear bag - did it come that way or did you add padding/backrest?

      Trunk

      Hey John,

      Thanks!

      That trunk is an aftermarket unit I bought from a guy on ebay. It is universal - I just made it work to my luggage rack. Last I saw he was still selling me. Kinda pricey though. You can add the options for the back rest cushions, luggage rack etc

      I acquired that tracy fairing when I bought the bike. It had a busted screen so I never used it .. til now. I even have the signals working well on the fairing. The aux light below the headlight can crank too.. nice when you are coming home late. Overall I am pretty happy with it.

      The previous owner Mark will be proud. He is on here somewhere..

        Nice, I have a Tracy also, not the same one though, also with plastic from Gustaffson. Don't see many Tracys anymore, they are pretty rare.

          Where did you get the trunk, and how pricey? I've been shopping for a good box to replace the junk I have. Looks like it would be worth the dough.

            Here is where I got the trunk. I can't remember the final price after all the upgrades.

                I am wondering if you can really get 2 full face helmets in that trunk like he claims in the ad.

                  If you look at the pics of the helmets in the ad, they appear to be
                  3/4 helmets with face shields...I had one of these a couple of yrs ago and although I never tried it, I seriously doubt 2 "Full Face" helmets will allow the lid to close and latch it securely....
