Pancake trunk for Euro-market I/S

[Bagger John - #3785]

Does anyone (especially our European members) know whether or not the Interstate was ever sold in that market with a low profile trunk?

I remember the 1500 'Wing being equipped with one, and certain Harley touring models also having a shorter trunk to meet some regulatory criteria.

If Honda offered such with the GL1500CF, does anyone know what was different between standard height and short trunks? And perhaps has a link to a Euro parts dealer with said components?

I'm a Floridian, not European, but I'm pretty darn sure the answer is no. 

If you want a flat styled trunk, you could mount an aftermarket or Harley one easy enough to your Valk.

I use a Harley trunk from a Softail on my Valk.

I'm in the UK, never seen one. I had one of the 1500 ones when I had my Wing was always going to mount it on top of the trailer but never got round to it, sold it for a pretty penny, they are pretty rare, even over here. I believe it was something to do with the German TUV laws and height restrictions on bikes at that time, hence the 'pizza box'...

I stand to be corrected but I don't think the Valk Interstate was officially imported into Europe. All the ones here are 'grey' imports. As far as I am aware the Std was the only model officially available in the UK and that was in limited numbers.
