What would it look like if you could lower and move the trunk forward so it's nearly sitting on the rails behind the solo seat?

Not sure but, I think you've taken the "King of Bling" award.  No doubt there will be a coronation ceremony at Inzane.  You'd get my vote.   cooldude

Very nice job blinged throughout, good job!

Don't take it wrong, but I think that small luggage rack trunk on back detracts from the overall sharp appearance of your bike.  Try taking it off if you can and see how it looks then.  I bet it looks better without that small trunk on back.  To have such a big cycle and such a dinky trunk on back looks out of place - does it even hold a helmet?  If it does hold a helmet, I guess it is functional and useful though but would be nice to take it off for that sharper/cleaner look.

The mounted trunk is a very interestingly stylish concept, but . . . the jury is still out on that one. First time I've seen a cobra light bar mounted that way. The instrument cluster on the bars is cool! The "bare ass" look is the bomb!   Shocked

THANKS FOLKS...
Yeah... I'm thinking the trunk has got to go.  Embarrassed  It holds just one 6-pack! 2funny

'Bout the COBRA lights Bar; not sure but I think I installed them backwards.  Undecided

I am putting all this stuff on and taking other crap off until I get it right.  tickedoff

Thank you for the criticism. Keep it coming.  cooldude

By doing this and moving the trunk forward, you could reach the six pack much easier -  2funny

If you cannot even hold a 12 pack, why even bother?  Roll Eyes

Well, I toyed with the idea of moving it behind the driver's seat. But I would have to remove the seat ring and  the trunk tilts to the front. Undecided Lips Sealed

Two points are obvious.

1)  You've spent a lot on blinging out your ride.

2)  You're not yet satisfied with the final result.  You're going to need more bling, more changes, more acquisitions.

Keep bringing in the enabling funds.  You're going to need them.  You're seriously addicted and it may be a long, long road to recovery, or to complete immersion.   cooldude
