I purchased & Installed this trunk last week. The lites are for turn signal & brake lites only, no tail lites. What I did was splice the two turn signal leads together & wired them to the bike's tail lites. The lites are all LEDs & not too bright. The trunk itself is thin & the top rattles as you go down the hiway. I'm going to get some sort of weather stripping to make the fit tighter. It took me about 2 hours to install & wire the lites. The passenger back rest does not cover all of the front of the trunk, only about the top 1/4. All in all, it's not bad for the money. -Rich

That appears to be a Mutazu DB trunk. Here's a gallery of lots of them on different bikes...DB trunks There's a few Nomads in there.

He wanted to see it on a nomad CJ.

Thanks all for the help,

I bought one of those trunks, and after I put it on, just to see what it looked like, I took it off and sold it to a friend with a Yammey 650. It looks good on a smaller bike (and really looks good on her's) . I just didn't think it was large enough for the Nad. You can fit 2 half helmets, or 1 full face helmet in it. All in all, it is a good looking trunk, just wasn't large enough to suit my tastes.

Maybe. I wear a open face helmet & I have to turn it on it's side to close the lid. It will fit 2 skid lids or 1/2 helmets. -Rich

Hey John, got it off E-Bay. It was in perfect condition, two-tone blue (but the wrong shades of blue ???). I had some paint left over from when I tried the '89 Yamaha venture trunk, so I refinished it to my Nad's colors. I think I gave about $413 for it. It didn't have the backrest, speaker pods, or keyed lock with it. I think the Venture trunk blends well with the Nomad's lines, But the HD tour pak is a little bigger, and a lot more comfortable on the Misses . Oh yeh, you have to have a wompus rack to mount it to. ;)

Here's what mine looked like with the Venture trunk

VulcanE, what year venture was it? I like that look.

[ponch]

I think the late model venture trunk looks better.
