Gen 2 Trunk Mod

[sixpack577]

Sure is! Same idea as the Gen2, the battery tray is just a touch different.

Yep, this^

after messing up my grab bar mod, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this.

Definitely going to do this to mine. Really like the idea of carrying something bigger than my wallet.

The grab rail things scares me too. I promise this mod isn't too bad at all!

Trunk mod is much easier.
The plastic is very soft and cuts easy, unlike the hard and painted plastic of the seat hump.
You can do it!

Knocking noise? Have you checked your clutch bolts?

 

[samcous]

I had a template for a trashcan, but now I can't find it. My gen2 is also long gone.
Otherwise I'de send you a pre-cut can, sorry.

Here's a bump for someone else to help you out

 

[SKECHE]

is there anybody else???????lease:

 

[mr8ball]

If you were her I would be glad to do it for you. Cutting the can is easy but you really need the bike to fit it right. Take a ride to Va and lets get it done Best of luck

 

[Jonathan Ong]

For those who have done it, whats the length and width you used?

I saw blanca's post about it being 7 by 11 inches, went down to my gen 2 and it measured up to 9 by 11 inches~

Help before i spend my 10 bucks on a wrong sized trash can! haha

 

[dadofthree]

All that material is fairly flexible. I don't remember the exact size 7 X 11 or 9 X 11. Measure your bike and get close, it does not have to be absolutely perfect. I used some aluminum rivets to secure it in the tail and clear RTV to seal it, the RTV makes up for small differences. I dropped mine in until it was barely visible underneath. I'm big and I've been known to have 120 to 140 pound passengers. Didn't want the tire rubbing it. It was just too easy and I'm no mod genius with mad skills.

Maybe someone will answer up, or you can PM sixpack. PMs are a good tool.

For those of you who used the file box, are they still holding up? At what height did you end up settling on to avoid rubbing? It's been a while since anyone has posted to this thing, just wanting to see how things are holding up!

 

[InfiniteReality]

Riding 2 up and being lowered, mine rubbed a small hole in the trash can. Nothing major and been like that for years. Came back to this thread to find out what size trash can I need to get and I'll redo mine and move it up a little bit. I've had more than enough space so won't mind losing a little bit.

 

[Bobby B]

awesome! you should sell those! LOL
