Venture Trunk
Replaced my cheap trunk with a Venture trunk. It's one of the bigger ones and I think I like it...but it seems a bit wide. I'm interested in your opinions, comments and insults. Well, maybe not insults) :)
And the aux tank inside... Pics also in my sig line

I think it looks pretty darn good.
But I do thiink you should use the aux tank for beer, not gasoline!

Very nice. Did the passenger back rest come with the trunk?

I had thought of getting one but did not like the forward opening. So I went with the Harley tour pak. For comparison, the HD is 24X20X12.

I think the trunk looks great. It looks very similar to the one I have. Mine is from a 91 Venture and has a few cracks beihind the backrest that have to be fixed before its ready for paint. Thats a sweet looking bike you have there. :)

That looks great on the bike. A mini keg would be a better choice to put in the trunk just for rally purposes.

I don't normaly like the looks of trunks. Yes it looks wide. But it works on your bike, it looks great. My only question is, why did you go to a wide trunk when the one you had would hold the tank with no problem? It looks like a lot of wasted space.

I also put my tools (in padded microphone bags) in the trunk on either side of the tank. Works for me.

I don't think it looks wide. Looks like a good fit to me. I like the lines of it better than the HD.
I gotta keep my wife away from your pics though - Those armrests look mighty comfy, I don't want her gettin' any ideas since I waited so long for my Corbin! |
