Just my 2 cents... It looks too much squared in face of the smooth curves of the fenders.

Looks kinda big IMHO for the drifter.

Thanks for the feedback.  I think you are right.  Luckily I paid hardly anything for the trunk!

I bought this trunk off Ebay for $32.  it's smaller than most trunks at 19"x15"x12".  I just didn't like the looks of really big trunks plus, I think this looks more old-school.  The chrome polished up really nice, the locking mechanism is solid and it's sturdy.  I plan on replacing the rack with something slightly bigger depth wise.  The bike is in storage so I haven't put it on it to stand back and look at how I like it but so far, so good...

I put the trunk on the bike to see how it looks.  Granted, it wasn't on a rack but it gave a good perspective on size in relation to the bike.  It didn't look too bad or too big but I wasn't really feeling it.  Maybe because it was too square looking or just blah without the lights and rack.  Not sure.

I'm just wondering if I would like these Boss bags and trunk instead.  (http://www.bossbags.com/images/67BBFClg.jpg)

Then you've got the Iron Bags that I love ( http://www.ironbags.com/images/content/customerpics/1_001_big.jpg )

So many decisions but there is one thing that I'm sure of ... my wife will jack my ass if I spend all that money (if she finds out about it :-) )

I knew I've seen that bike before, it's on Heathers Leathers home page ( http://heathersleathers.com/ ).  Duh on my part (short term memory!)

Looks like it's just a leather "flap" hanging under the seat.

Looks like a bag under the seat to these eyes.

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.

Say this pic today and thought of this thread.  Beautiful, bagless white Drifter
