First....do you ride solo or two up? Since I ride solo all the time, I adapted an '83 GL1100 trunk and mount to the Valkyrie. Had to switch the saddlebag hinges to the I/S type since it was hindered by the width. I cut down the lenth of the mount so it would sit directly over the rear wheel instead of hanging way out back like the I/S trunk does. Welded a couple "L" shaped brackets underneath, then drilled them to mount where the sissy bar goes. The front is supported by a semi truck mirror extension on each side. I chose the 1100 style trunk since it was the last one Honda made with a flat lid. I added the lid rack and handle, on the inside I added a restraining cable on each end of the lid. I also bought a liner made for it, trunk carries almost as much as the I/S trunk for a lot less money. The mount has three small bolts on each side, less than 10 min. to remove/install. The mount has two locks that allows you to slip the trunk off if needed, leaving you with a large carrying rack if so desired.    |

I know you said aftermarket, but I have a excellent condition green IS Tour Pack that I'll sell. Was holding out to trade for a good condition IS tank, but it don't look like that's going to happen. Drop me a pm if interested.
If you're not interested, I'll prolly list it tomorrow if I can get some time to take some pics.

I've never seen one of those before. Looks sorta like a Givi trunk. http://www.giviusa.com/ |

The Givi E55 works well for me. It is well built and will detach in 5 seconds or less. Less $ than you would expect and looks good.

BF, I really like the leather covers on all the storage. Did you have that done, or is it aftermarket? |

The trunk is Harley.
The bags are Mustang.
The tank bib is Talisman.
The windshield tri-pouch was from some random seller on eBay. It was only about 30/35 bucks....and didn't have a brand or name on it. The seller still lists them on eBay though.
