Interesting mod. HD makes three trunks of varying height, so the rider could choose rear weight and capacity. They are well made and offer rear lighting and radio antennas plus a top rack.

I'm going to use HD's soft baggage on the rear of mine. They slip over the pillion pad and tie to the hand rails and rear rack. One on the pillion seat with a front pad for me to lean against, and one behind on the rear rack. Quick removal for motel stays, easy to carry, and very light.

[Gumby]

I think it looks no less tacked on or out of place than the one on a gold wing.

[F6B-RICH]

WOW I think it looks good.Great mod :thumb:

[IamBatmanF6B]

Well its only for trips then its off! I like the sleek look without a trunk. But my wife..............she may say different!

[kjelders]

Interesting idea. Can you post a picture from the rear of the bike?

At least there's no moving parts to break. :icon_lol:

It's functional, that's all that matters! Can u post pics of how u mounted it? I was thinking a trunk for trips would be nice. Smaller, non Harley for me tho.

[IamBatmanF6B]

I will when I take the trunk off when I get back. We used 11 gauge mild steel and fabbed up a bracket. My buddy did most of the work. I have 17 dollars in the material and a couple of bucks in spray paint. Its solid.

I use a Bestem top box for my pizza delivery system.

Awesome! Glad to hear u didn't spend a fortune on it. Looks great.

[SpeedyWho]

I just can't get onboard with anything HD on or near my bike. If it was an aftermarket company's tour pack itd be pretty sweet.

I'd be curious to see how you mounted it. (I have a TourPak in my garage that I was going to mount on my Vulcan). I like the idea of a trunk for longer trips. What did you mount it to?

Thx...

[kjelders]

The HD Tour Pack "squareness lines" actual goes better with the wing saddlebags than the wing Tour Pack

I turned the picture for you.

You are in luck!

Now you just need to install reverse, navigation and cruise control.

[FlaMike]

Well dang I was hoping to be the first to do this. I've got a chopped tour (bout 2" less height than this one) that I had on a RK. I thought it would look good on F6B on trips only. But I don't have the F6 yet, just the tourpak. You win. I know I'll like when it happens.

[timjoebob]

Not bad.

However, I had a Wing. I bought an F6B because I didn't want the trunk. The sleekness was the attraction. If I wanted a trunk, I would've bought a Wing.

[Retired Army]

Does it handle like a Harley now?

[kjelders]

Does it handle like a Harley now?

It marks its territory now.

I think it is a great idea for those that want a tour pack option for longer trips. However, I will just put Pete's rack on mine and throw a bag on it for the trips.

Again, it does look good.

[Steve 0080]

If you are happy, and most importantly, your wife ...then I am thrilled to death ...I also have an Ultra Classic and the pizza box does come in handy....I will post a pic tomorrow of the wife's new closet!!!

[Bike44]

Also consider a lightweight aerodynamic GIVI trunk that could be quickly removable. Some come with a universal adapter base. Examples: http://giviusa.com/givi-products/cases/monolock-cases

[IamBatmanF6B]

I already had this trunk for my Street Glide (quick detach) so instead of buying a new one I used it. H.D. tour packs are very nice and my wife likes the comfort. I as well like the slick look of no trunk but functionality over form for an 8 day trip.

[chipmaker]

When I sold my RG, I kept my tour pak and sold it separately, making some good money. Maybe I should have kept it??

[Westernbiker]

I guess to each his own.
But then again, I have another bike I use for touring, so for those that only have the F6B..........I guess..........if it works for ya..........but it doesn't work for me!

[twtex85]

Can you post pics of how you mounted it to the back of the F6? Looks pretty nice back there for those times when you need more luggage space. I assume it can be disconnected quickly. Nice mod and would love to see how you mounted it.

[yellowskeeter1]

looks better than the stock trunk for sure!

[UTurn]

For me (one bike), I like to have a trunk for long(er) trips, which happens once or twice a year. I like the option to remove the trunk when not needed.

Here is the back view.

I love the look. Nice job! I took some measurements of the HD King Tour Pak, and at 26" wide, the antenna would practically be underneath the trunk. Your trunk looks like its about 23" or 24" wide, and the antenna is pushed out to the side a bit. Any problems with that?
I'd like to mount the King Tour Pak a little higher so the antenna has enough clearance, or maybe I can re-route the antenna to the box itself. Otherwise, maybe not use the biggest tour pak HD makes. What do you think?

[biggmike_51]

looks great, I may look into a smaller leather tour pack.

[Yeahoo Whoyah]

I loved this idea, ordered one from Matuza, these are knock offs, a lot cheaper to buy, warning you get what you pay for.when I opened box, one latch was in the bottom of the box. Matuza said they would replace, but I decided to purchase Harley's black hinges and latches. When I was drilling out the rivets for the existing latches and hinges, some practically fell out. I also ordered a Harley backrest as the Matuza one doesn't fit very good and is very hard. Also ordered the retractable cable and trunk liner, all in all I know have a nice trunk with black hardware and it was still cheaper by about 200 bucks over the Harley trunk. I will post pics in a couple of days, we are on the road heading east across Canada and then circling the USA.:icon_cool:

Any updated pics for this? Thnx.

[hiflyer]

If I were to add a trunk, I would use the HD chopped tour pak for the 2014 model year. It has new lines and would probably flow with the bags. But....it's 800 bucks I think. Currently waiting on my rack, and will use my waterproof duffle for awhile

[bones]

Sorry to the OP, I don't mean to hijack your thread.

Up until I had a good hard look at a F6B a couple of weeks ago and read a number of reviews I was seriously looking at getting a Street Glide. My intentions with it were to get an after market tour pack and as well as the HD 4 point mounting system to make it easy-removable for the infrequent times when the little lady would be traveling with me. The Street Glide is nice and all but I just hate being one of the 'pirate' crowd.

Here's a couple of links to after-market trunks. Both manufacturers make a chopped version as well. The Power Products trunk is highly rated by quite a few Harley riders.
Power Products http://www.powerproductsparts.com/tour.html
Scoot Works http://www.scootworks.com/shop.cgi/page=partstrunk.htm/SID=1359326359.30702

Just have to figure out how to fab (or have someone fab) a mount.

[hiflyer]

Hey Batman, how about posting a pic of your mount please. I am going to add a trunk for trips, I just cant get satisfied with current garage full of bags and strapping them down. Thanks

[4DI2D]

$800 for a trunk . . .

$340 for a trailer hitch. No contest. Besides, no woman ever takes as much as she brings back!

[IamBatmanF6B]

Sorry guys, I forgot all about doing this. I will take the mount off tomorrow and get some pics for you all. It worked vey well for my trip I took to Sturgis and my wife LOVED it!

[dickiedeals]

What do you all think?[/QUOTE]I think my wifes Boobs wouldn't fit. It needs to be back an inch or two. Back boxes are handy but I agree that I left Harley and don't really want Harley parts on my Honda. Funny thing, All my HD riding buddies want to ride my F6B and always come back smiling ear to ear. HD better get busy or they are going to loose a lot of loyal customers like me.

You need to put a pair of 7.1" rear speaker pods on the trunk and you should be set (don't forget the amplifier) !!! :020:

Just wondering if you've had the chance to take those pics?
Thanks in advance.

[Trike lady]

You don't have to settle on the HD trunk, you can get one that looks like it came off a GL1200.

So how does she like it? Any long trips yet?

[Spanky]

Could you post some mounting pics? Before I sell the Electraglide with detachable tour pack, and get a F6B deluxe, I'd like to know if I should keep the tour pack.

Je suis également intéressé pour voir des photos du montage, j’ai dans l’idée de monter un grand tour pack Mutazu mais il semble qu’il faut le monter sur un cadre en tube.

I am also interested to see photographs of the assembly, I have in the idea to mount a large tour pack Mutazu but it seems that it should be assembled on a framework out of tube

Bravo pour ce forum..

[Larry]

I installed a Swine box on mine for trips but take it off when I get home

[F6Joe]

Dang that looks nice... I'd of done the LED lights in the tour pack. Good job.

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

Very well done -
Looks like great passenger comfort and storage.

Looking for exactly how you did it. I have found a mounting bracket at twistedthrottle.com. looks like it would simply bolt (with some doing) on it?

It would be great as a detachable?

I think it looks no less tacked on or out of place than the one on a gold wing.

or equally. ;)

Very practical for long hauls, let us know about the bracket..

[CheckpointChcky]

I think it looks really good. The only thing I would add would be a line of LED's all along the bottom of the case.

Just ordered one in matte black. Hopefully it will match the matte black on the red F6B's.

That one kills a few birds with one stone. Looks like 6x9 pods which gives you plenty of speaker options. Who is vending this one?

I thought about the BikeTronics 7.1" pods, but they are a bit spending.

I like HD's side opening design for a few reasons.

1) When the bike is on the side stand, it leans to the left which favors keeping the trunk open.
2) When stopped on the side of the road and accessing your Tour Pak, your back is not to traffic.
3) My wife puts things on her seat which doesn't get in the way of a side opening trunk.

And #4.....If you strap a bag to the top of the pak, and one on the rear seat, like I do on longer trips, you can still open without removing either bag. I never have understood why BMW and Honda haven't figured this one out.

Added my 2 cents. Maybe it is a patent issue ?

No, that's a rebranded HD item from days gone by. F6B patch came from Steve 0080.

Bringing up an old post did we ever get pics of how the OP mounted his trunk on the bike? A few pics looks like there is a Honda rack under it?

Some people have mounted their trunks to an F6B rack (i.e. Givi trunks), others have made their own mounting plate and others have modified the matching Harley Tour Pak rack to fit the F6B. People use pipe nipples or sections of heavy aluminum tubing for the 4 standoffs.

Here is some picts of a DIY bracket.

It goes with the lines but if you wanted a full wing you should have bought one! Just saying! Order a Kuryakyn Ultra tour bag from Value accessories for anything more distant that my normal rides as I am planning an excursion next summer out to a friends house in Idaho.
