Skulls are one thing but those paticular skulls look like crap. I have opinions, sometimes others don't agree with them but that is not going to stop me from posting them.

Adding the speakers. Also to each their own. I like the speakers even though I am not big into skulls or having them on my bike I though they were unique and the eyes pulsate to the beat of the music
Here is a link to a short video of the bike with the trunk installed on Youtube

thank you everyone for all the feedback, positve and negative.
I attached a pic of the finished product with a custom lower back rest I made with extra thick padding for lumbar support as my girlfriend has lower back problems, I want to offer her as much comfort as I can. Only thing that remains for it is some carpet lining and matching pin striping to the tank

Wow, I remember when I gave some negative comments once. I know I have received some as well but if everyone agreed all the time this wouldnt be a forum it would be a love in with everyone having the same bike and it would be boring. I also like that we can talk about things other than our bikes and still agree to disagree. I applaud Tim for his honesty and not just hitting the proverbial "like" button. I dont like the skulls either but I love that he did his own work and made the bike his own. I admire his skill since i have absolutely none! Ok I am off my soapbox now!

I'm curious, how did you attach the trunk to the lugage rack. A picture or two would be great if you get the time.

I used the brackets that came with the trunk as well as a couple of washers with sockets as spacers for where the sissy bar was.
I attached some pic's

I like it, looks good. One question, how does the passenger like it compared to just a regular backrest, have they said?

She has not had a chance to go for a ride on it yet with the new backrest. She has 3 children 5,9,11 and works full time as do I. She get very few chances to go riding with me. I wish different but what can you do.

If you would though, when you finally do get the chance to take her for a ride, see what she thinks. If it is an improvement I may just take this mod on myself.
