Motorcycle Trunk Tail Box Luggage Universal

This is a great value for the money. The previous reviews with schematics were good, but my light bar was different. Three wires, black, yellow and blue. Black is ground and both lights are solid, no blinking or flowing. I saw it flowing for the first try, but that's it. Turned solid after that. I'll try calling support, but not a big issue for me, my break lights are quite catchy as they are. The rubber pieces on the top lid are not very good, they fell off on first day. And boy that was some noisy lid after that. I used a leftover strip that covered most of it. Now it is snuggly and closes tight.

Minor adjustments to fit my bike (2015 Kawasaki Vaquero). Drilled new holes and notched the braces (seen from inside), cut down one bracket on the underside to fit the rack. Ridges on the inside bottom prevented me from angling the brackets to match the tapered shape of the rack as I originally wanted. It does set far enough back for me to wear a backpack with the driver backrest removed. I used Gorilla(R) Tape to cover the extra holes which has been effective so far in keeping rain out. I was concerned that there is not weatherstripping around the lid, but after two rides in the rain it appears the box is sheltered enough and the lid overlaps the bottom to keep water out, so pleasantly surprised there. As others have mentioned, the hinge and lock are on the cheaper side, which is most likely a factor in the low price for the trunk. I made sure to put blue thread-lock/lock-tite on all bolts - the four used to install and the three smaller ones that are part of the latch. 4 Weeks of daily riding and it is all still together at this point. I'm a bit concerned how the plastic will hold in the coming single-digit temps - doesn't appear to be the type to become brittle and crack but I'll update if it does. The light on the back does not have dim/bright (run/brake) switching. It has either a bright solid as seen in the ad, or bright travelling light from middle out to both sides. If both are energized, the solid overrides the traveling lights. This is unfortunate because I bought this case mostly to increase my visibility beyond the small taillight and was hoping for run/brake option. This only improves my visibility when braking. You can use the traveling light for the 'run' option and the solid for the 'brake', but I would be concerned the change wouldn't register with the cell-phone playing cage-driver behind me that I was braking. Update - made it through the winter with no issues, plastic remained pliant although it only got into the teens (F) a few times, not into single digits this year. Plastic is much more scratch resistant that I expected and takes a coat of wax fairly well. A few items of note - the screw ends. On both sides (holding cables for lid) and the back (inside of the latch) there are small screws that stick into the compartment. They can easily mar a helmet face shield or tear a hold in a jacket of other clothing if you are not careful. Cover with duct tape or find some rubber nibs to cover them and you'll do fine. I never attached the rack to the top of my box since I haven't needed the storage, and don't know how much it would hold going down the road anyways. It may help with aesthetics, but I didn't feel like marking and drilling more holes, especially in the top of the lid. One other thing - there are rubber bumpers on the inside of the lid that keep it snug and prevent rattling when going down the road. Be aware they are only pressed in, and mine all fell out at one time or another. Luckily they fell into the box so I didn't lose them, and ended up securing them with more gorilla tape. Update December 2018 - still going strong, nothing has come apart, lock still works although I admit I only lock it when absolutely necessary, but still, I haven't had the problems others have written about. Still very happy with this purchase. The left-most 1/4 of the LEDs are out, something inside the light bar broke, but the rest of the bar still lights up. I think I connected the ground wire to the wrong circuit, every time I brake while the right turn signal is on, the light bar flashes in time with the blinker. Lastly, I posted a new photo, showing the light kits I use when riding at night, so you can see the comparison on the brightness of the light bar on the trunk.

So was very apprehensive to buy this product but every time i went looking for something like this, it kept popping back in my search so I finally took the plunge. It arrived quickly. Much to my surprise. Putting it together does require some technical aptitude so not for the anyone without proper tools and understanding the wiring configurations. There were no real instructions. So you are on your own. My wife finds it very comfortable and so far no rain, so not sure how waterproof it is. But i did buy some channel weather stripping that will help. Don't forget to seal up the predrilled holes that probably doesn't work for anyone. You will need to drill your own. In the end, it looks like it belonged on my bike the whole time. Does not look like an aftermarket product on my bike. Exception being the LEDs that anyone behind me will have to get used to.

It's inexpensive and it shows. The first trunk I received had broken hinge out of the box. had to return and reorder. On second box, had two seat bolts pull right out, not even tightened down, just aligning bolts in holes and hand tighten. Pre-drilled holes did not line up very well, lots of gentle wrestling. One page instructions, one side with mounting parts list for box and other side shows two pictures for bottom box mount. No instructions for rack mount and you'll have to drill your own holes to mount top rack. Luckily, with minimal mechanical aptitude, you'll figure out how to mount the top rack, but again, you have to place, drill the holes. If you have no luggage rack (like on my 1984 Honda Shadow VT500, get ready for some mods. Luckily a good friend does welding and we were able to make a weld rack that is mounted to the short sissy bar, so got a good sturdy mount now. You only have a choice or streaming lights or brake light..no running light feature (they should make the streaming be able to be running lights). Now waiting on new backrest portion. Had to send photos before they would send a new one out. Bottom line, inexpensive, but can be a lot of work. The "quality" is very questionable It is a very thin and brittle plastic, so only time and use will tell how long it will hold up Low price, but also can be a lot of work and may get bad box/parts as I have. Will add pics once finally done and hoping the new backrest will work properly and the holding bolts hold up without pulling out of their thin plastic mounts.

I got the wrong one but they made it right

Excellent trunk. I was worried if the paint job would be sub par but it looks nice. It's large, sturdy and my passenger loves the backrest. As long as you can come up with mounting solution to your bike's rack (some basic handy man skills required to mount it), and you don't expect out of the box mounting hardware to work for all and every bike, then you'll love this trunk. I don't really need the chrome rack on top but I mounted it for the look and it really makes the bike look awesome. The LED light strip is nice and bright. No buyers remorse here, I would definitely buy again.
