Trunk for Nomad?
Hi, does anyone know if there is a good trunk available to fit a 2006 1600 Nomad? I have the OEM rack fitted. However, I'm sure the sissy bar would need to be removed. As the rack is mounted to the sissy bar, that would create a problem! Anyone got any ideas? Much appreciated.

I,ve got a scootworks trunk made my rack, so I could keep the orig sissy bar and back rest. Lots of people use harley trunks and the old voyager trunk. I've seen a yama trunk on one, leatherlyke, I believe champion makes one, to many for my small brain to store. Theres several, depends on style and money preference. Couple of good racks also. Good hunting.

Bought a tour pack on Ebay and mounted it on a wompus rack. What ever you do, don't mount a trunk on the OEM rack. It won't handle the stress of the load.

I've had the Mutazu trunk mounted on a Wompus rack for about
a year now and haven't had the first problem out of it. Not as great a quality as my HD TourPac, but it does the job just fine. Ride safe, Dano |

Hi,
There are a lot of opinions and experience here on trunks. Just ask and someone will help you. One of the best things about this site. I went for the "older" Yamaha Venture trunk. 84' to be exact. I believe it's a personal thing like everything else about "your" bike. Good luck and welcome from Canada Rickyboy

I want a trunk, but Miss Polly insists on keeping her backrest and grab rails. I have an oversized luggage rack which is stronger than standard, ( bought especially to carry my Kuryakyn trunk bag) so I'd have to mount a trunk to the rack I have, without getting rid of any of the aforementioned stuff. Haven't yet seen anything that'll work.

I did not like seeing the grab rails going on my 05 so I made my own rack. I lost the back rest for a tour pak back rest. All those who rode with me enjoyed it a lot. Now that I no longer have my bike, I sold the tour pak to another member here and he commented on how his wife likes it. A wompus rack will make you get rid of the grab rails but sometimes in customizing, you need to make sacrifices.

Mine's an '07, and I'd have to lose the grab rails. "She Who Must Be Obeyed" says NO! LOL!

Never had any grab rails on my 99 so when I mounted the trunk I got no complaints. I think I'm gonna have the pad reworked on the trunk though for a little more comfort.
