Hello All,
Does anyone know if there is a way to move the Interstate trunk backwards a couple of inches? Give me and my passenger more room?
Thanks for the help!

I have an I/S and I GUESS it could be done-extend the rails extend the wiring harness but I'm also GUESSING it will change the geometry of the M/C. Not real sure if anyone here has undertaken that particular task BUT you iz in da right place to find out!  Good luck with this quest!  RIDE SAE. |

How about moving that interstate trunk forward and then you would have the ultimate drivers backrest.

I remember someone doing that also, but don't remember who. |

I am a large individual and my wife normal size and the IS has plenty of room I don't even know she is there other than the added weight ( or when she falls asleep and bumps my helmet with hers )So I don't think I will be moving my trunk she might fall off  |

I did it using aluminum stock; you need to add a 1" x 1" bar of the length you want at the mounting point in the lower center of the trunk. You'll need a crossbar (1/2" x1/2", width of the trunk mounts) behind that, to catch the bottom front trunk bolts. Finally, I used 3 pieces of flat stock 1" x 1/4" (length of the front bottom offset) to pick up the rear trunk bottom bolts. I believe I added about 3 inches of passenger seating space. The original wiring was long enough to handle the change. Did it back in 2001-2002, finer details escape me. Drill & tap, extra hardware needed. So easy a cave girl did it!  |

We had snow on Monday, but it's pretty much gone now, supposed to hit 60 tomorrow. Unfortunately, I've got a PODS in the driveway that precludes getting the trike out, but the scooter can just barely fit between the rock wall and the PODS. I suppose I'll just have to take it for a ride... Hope you're well, John, seems like you are enjoying life, give yourself a big hug! |
