Trunk for my Tourer

[bigguy]

I'm about to put a trunk with armrests on my tourer. Here's the one I'm looking at. Anybody see any problems I'm missing?
I'm looking at the trunk and wraparound armrests with the chrome rack. It'll be about $169.00 + shipping.

My ridin' buddy has one without the armrest on his Kawasaki Mean Streak and seems to like it.

I've been looking for a trunk myself for my Tourer.
If the trunk is wide, the saddlebag lids may bump into the trunk.
You'd have to fab up a new mount to raise the trunk,
so that the lids clear the trunk.
Those real narrow trunks guys post here, from sears,
might not have that problem.
I'm just sayin watch for the arc of the lid swing.

or order a set of interstate hinges that allow the lids to be removed.

I have one of these on my Standard. I like the trunk but would not have the rack on the lid. They are not very heavy plastic and I doubt if the lid could sustain a load on the rack. I had to convert my bag hinges so that the lids come off because of clearence issues. Easily done by taking the hinge apart and maching the  loop out so that they work with a hook action. This set up works great for me.
