Tour pack and a use for that silly back rest

[MattG]

What is the company name or link to the website for this? Did it come with the mounting plate? Thanks

Have seen a few inquiries regarding tour packs as the HD guys call them, aka top box.
I recently bought a 13F6 in the fast color.
Really needed to figure out a back rest and some storage for my riding partner.
Could always do better on the next one, but for garage hack it came out ok.
I hope the pictures attached, if not I will try again.

Matt, I did this in my garage in about 2 hours. I used the stock back/butt rest and mounted it to a GIVI 47N trunk.
I could reposition the pad a little but this was my first try.
The trunk is about $250 from Revzilla and you probably have the back pad.
I cut a piece of plastic (cutting board) as a shim and got 4 new screws to pull everything together.

Well, I did it. Ordered a trunk box/back rest for my wife from http://www.t-motorsports.com/motorcy...vulcan-shadow/
It was cheap in price , after S&H it was $62.50, got it delivered in 3 days. I used the original short (Stocked) back rest, removing the back plastic housing on the back and mounting the new trunk to that original piece. Had to make a bracket out of some steel fence connectors I got at Lowes for $10, painted it and mounted it. Turned out pretty darn nice, wife loves it.Attachment 19402Attachment 19403Attachment 19404Attachment 19405
