Gold Wing Trunk on an F6B

[d-shark]

Not sure this will help but many rear seat passengers have felt a little uneasy with the Deluxe stock backrest being so low. I installed an adjustable height bracket that the Honda dealership out of Storm Lake Iowa (712) 732-2460 sells and my passenger loves it. I paid $150.00 at the time, not sure what it is now but well worth the money. Might be a much more cost effective solution to make your passenger feel secure.

Thanks for the advice, however I did replace the stock backrest with an extended version from Ultimate Seats. She feels more "tucked in" to the trunk plus the rear speakers are nicer for the passenger.

I purchased a trunk on eBay for around 60.00 and retrofitted it by matching the attachment points from the luggage rack and using spacers that I cut from steel hollow rod that Home Depot carries.
My wife felt the same as yours with the backrest and the trunk comes with a wraparound seat that when my wife got on it yesterday for the first time gave it two thumbs up.
The trunk comes in gloss black matching my bike perfectly although the paint job is as would be expected...depot carried M8x70 and M8x50 bolts,spacers measured to match were cut at 1 5/8" and around the 2" mark. This gets the trunk relatively level when attached. I placed two sheets of steel under and inside the trunk sandwiching it in order to stiffen the installation. The key point to all of this is that this assembly is removable. That was the attraction to the Harley I owned...detachable backrest. It'll take me about ten minutes to attach or detach, well worth it to have a happier wife on board. Attachment 16250Attachment 16251

I like that. I had a similar set up on my C-14. Took around 10 minutes to install\remove. Your right a happy wife on as a rider is priceless.

Have you seen the new 2016 black and grey Goldwing?
Very sharp and the bottom is blacked out.

I think that I got the same trunk. But, I mounted mine as low as possible. I think it looks better.

My wife was the same way and I too bought the extendable unit from the same dealer and she loves it
