Removable trunk mount for Vaquero
Since Kaw makes a quick release backrest and luggage rack for the Vaquero, anyone think that someone might come up with a quick release trunk mount using this hardware. Yeah, I know, if I wanted a trunk then I should have bought a Voyager! I might consider a removable trunk just for touring and keeping the bike clean for everyday riding. Any thoughts from you Vaquero riders?

From my understanding the voyages trunk come off in about 10 min. Is that not quick enough? ;)

It was my understanding that Kawasaki never intended to make a tourpak available for the Vaquero, which is why I didn't seriously consider buying one. I'd say don't hold your breath waiting.

Sounds like he's trying to modify the QR Vaquero mount for a trunk.

I understand. If you haven't notice, there are a lot of similarities.
A Voyager trunk would look a lot better- fit and finish- than an after market with a rigged mount.

GIVI Trunk is quick disconnect
I installed a GIVI quick disconnect on my Vaquero. I added a passenger back rest. I really like it. Its light and holds two full face helmets. I made the mounts out of strap aluminum and picked up the saddle bags bolts and the antenna mount ( there is a like mount on the opposite side of the bag mounts).

I had the GIVI box on my previous bike. It is the Box and the quick disconnect plate. I bought mine off of a dealer. It was a display unit. I made the mounts. I used strap aluminum and painted it black.

Thought I would post some better pics of the mounts.
