I agree... and if I had a trunk, I'd want it to be easy to remove... yours looks about as easy to
remove as the sissybar.

I was looking at this trunk (someone suggested it came from Tsukayu) in Texas last week, it
looked pretty good too... I like Interstate trunks, and I know there's such a thing as a quick-release
kit, but they don't strike me as very easy to take off...

I bought it from ptgb, and painted it to match the bike. Here is how he made it work: http://www.valkyrieguy.com/tsutrunk.htm

Now, to remove, I just take 8 small bolts out of the trunk, and disconnect a plug in, and it is off. If you want to put on a sissybar, remove the covers.

Well, that's a cool web site... I might have some reservations about modifying my fender rail, though Wink
