Alert: Smoking Deal on Yamaha Touring Trunk

[Spud]

Just ordered one after patiently waiting for about 2 years to get a deal. Free shipping and a free t-shirt. It's gray, my bike's black.....close enough for me. Does not include the mounting kit.

I think some early top cases had problems with cracking and were recalled. Any idea if this one is reinforced?

 

[Spud]

No idea.... on their e-bay ad they have photos of an actual unit. Looks like they've sold three of the five available.

Nor the lock.....

Dang and I just traded my Granite Gray bike off!

If the trunk doesn't have the metal reinforcement kit already installed (and it probably does) there is a tech bulletin for base plate kits M07-013. Yamaha USA or the dealer can tell you if it will be provided to you for your bike.

I have the spare lock keyed for my bike. Figured I'd never find it but there it was with my purchase info...

A friend and infrequent forum member bought one of these when I sent him the link. What mounting rack is recommended, or does anyone have the OEM part number handy?

Great value on a trunk case

So the trunk arrived yesterday--fast, free shipping from Iron Pony. Trunk is definitely brand new and in the OEM accessory original box. From the looks of the rubber bumpers and rear soft rubber strip, I don't think it was manufactured to awfully long ago. I found my extra lock from when I picked up the bike, installed it. Now I just need to order the attachment plate and I'll be ready to go. $199.00 to my door, I'm a happy camper! Oh yeah--they threw in a free t-shirt as well....

The Granite Gray should look fine on my black bike. It's a pretty neutral color, and quite dark. I think it will look good on your GENIII too, Sir Richard.....

Damn--is there anything better than the UPS man dropping off a big box of motorcycle stuff?

Here it is:

All these posts, and none bitching about the Mama Yama box, and how a GIVI rules all? I'm disappointed...

Is this trunk easily removable??

I don't have it mounted yet, but I can see that the setup is like the side-cases. The outer handle swings shut to engage the latch on the bottom of the box to connect it to the bike, then, if you swing it open it releases it from the bike. I'm assuming it's as easy as removing the side case.
