Wait a minute. You say it was in your mailbox today?

He must have a big mailbox too.

I thought about that.  It's not a bad option really, and I could do it myself.  Add some studs and I'd be in business.

You could also get the HD tourpack covered in custom-colored leather to match any soft bags you got; like desert tan.

I just bought a cheap, Harley tourpak type trunk to see if I like the looks.  If I do, I'll either do some repair work on it or buy one that doesn't need work.

That's what I did.  I bought a current model trunk, and then I found an old Shovelhead trunk.  I liked the more vintage look of the Shovelhead trunk, so it stayed.  I adapted a current wraparound backrest to it for comfort.  Now I just need some matching saddlebags and I'll be in business.  (It sits level, but the pics make it look angled.)  The last one is with my mom.

For hard bags I was considering this Corbin hard trunk made for the Indian but again it might be a little too modern? (and expensive) But once in awhile one comes up on ebay for a reasonable price. And it would match their seats. With a solo seat I would move it right up behind the driver over the fender.

Yep, that does look good and the price is right. Too bad I couldn't find one in desert tan. But I was thinking of building a rack for the back and putting on one of these on by itself without the trunk.

bamBam check this out I can not vouch for the quality or the workmanship on the product but it was in my mailbox today, so perhaps it would met your needs.
I followed Troll and put a leather travel trunk on my bike.

Yes, I like the look alot.  I saw Trolls bike and loved the leather trunk.

We'll let it go. I didn't realize you were up all hours of the night shovelling snow.

  Sorry the ad for the beer box was in my e mail box, and I ordered the Travel trunk from Jafrum.com and it came within like a week. I was up late last night and so there......when you come up north for a visit I'll show you snow........

Wait a minute. You say it was in your mailbox today? And here it is on your bike , in your driveway? There should be 4 ft drifts on your Drifter. I'm calling you on this!

To BamBam - Thanks BamBam, I was looking at an Indian hard trunk for awhile but they look too modern, what type of trunk were you looking at? I hate covering up the fenders also but what to do with stuff? I put in a bid on some leather bags this morning.

To the Ratman - Thanks. The red is a Candy Apple Red Metalic used on the Chevy Cruise and the white is pearl white (metalic) . That is another problem, getting hard bags painted to match the color of the bike. They should have all been done at once but I still haven't decided on the bags. Leaning towards leather. As far as following the fender lines , the Bucos are not really shaped like the fender on top. It's hard to describe but they are actually pointed on top , not rounded like the side view makes them look. I think they would look smashing painted one color or perhaps the lids painted red and body white.
