I laugh, but that will probly be my first trunk

We actually had it lying around It is just zip tied on there, I'll probably replace it with a jc whitney trunk soon.

So is this it? Does anyone else have any type of saddle bags/box

[SpeedSouth]

Here's my rig....

JcWhitney trunk and ATV Logic saddle/tank bags (note there's room for my backpack on the rear of the seat)




And just for grins...I'll post my set-up on the Ninja - (Nelson Rigg Mini's)

Nice Ninjette.

I would like to see some photos of people's bikes with fuel cans attached because I'm planning hurricane evacuation and I want to put a 3 gallon or more tank on the rack. That would give me a 300-mile range to get out of the way of any hurricane.

Kawa did you make the mounts or did you buy them? Can you post some detailed instructions. I would like to use your method.

[Kawazacky]

There's a chunk of metal welded in between the rails of the luggage rack on the side, with bolt holes drilled in it. This makes a bracket on the luggage rack.

I have a 15/16ths threaded rod that I cut up. I have a nut and washer on each side of this that secures it to the luggage rack bracket.

The other end of the 15/16ths rod is welded to some scrap metal that my cousin had lying around. That's the bracket that the bags attach to. There are 4 8mm bolts, one in each corner of that bracket, that secure the bag to that bracket.

To quickly remove the bags, I remove the 15/16ths nuts from the luggage rack bracket. It's a very effective/quick setup.

Any more questions? Was that clear?

Speed where did you get the tank bags?

I purchased ATV Logic brand bags from JcW at the same time I got the trunk. I think they were $20-25..and free shipping since I was ordering other stuff.

I looked at all my local shops first though...hoping to find a set I could look at before buying, but as luck would have it, I didn't find any until after mine arrived...and they were in my closest "redneck" Wal-Mart. Good looking bags, better price....not sure if they fit as well though.

The bags are designed for ATV's, so you'll need to keep that in mind during a search.


Hope that helps.

Hey Speed how about showing that GPS mount also? Where did you get it?

No problem....just look at my post in the thread you started requesting pics of mounts.
As you will see, I was the only person to post a reply in that thread.

Hey kato can you post some pics of how you have your action packer mounted?

[katoranger]

I used some j-shaped bolts found at tractor supply I think.

Just hooked them around the factory rack. Two at the back and one at the front.



Required about 2 minutes of drilling and I used a grinder to cut the excess off the bolts.

I am about to order one of the JCWhitney MATTE BLACK TRAVEL TRUNKS and wondered if you wish you had bought the larger one. I think you got the medium size, right?
Looks great. The Ninja makes me drool.
