That trunk will hold two pony kegs and a package of red Solo cups.

Is it still limited to 22 lbs like my GIVI?  Might need to put some wheelie bars on the bike, or stretch the swingarm if you put much weight in there.

Surprisingly they are actually quite comfy, they're more for your elbows or the inside part of the arms and your arms just kinda rest in front, tough to explain in words, maybe I'll try to get mama to put on her bikini and sit on it so I can illustrate better with a pic...  ;) :P

I wouldn't suggest putting too much weight in it, I'll just use it for bulky lighter things like clothes etc on a trip, and keep my heavier items in the side cases. I know there are warnings and weight limits etc, but in 5 years of owning this bike and being on many forums I've yet to see any posts/reports of somebody cracking or breaking the passenger grab rails due to an over loaded trunk...  :-\

I get it. Arm-rest for T. Rex and elbow-rest for mamacita and the rest of us mere mortals. Don't hold back on the pics.  ;D

LOL, true.

Jays pic reminds me of a C14 owner we met while on a trip back in 2011. We rolled into Winthrop, WA on two 08 C14's, and there was a guy there also on an 08 C14, and he had one of those 30" suitcases mounted on the back...handle on one end, wheels on the other...LOL. That thing looked so big and out of place on there...it was kinda funny.

Nah, I'd rather not pull a trailer, pulling a trailer with a bike seems like it would be kinda sketch at triple digit speeds or in tight twisties, I'd rather just have a big trunk as I only use it 3 or 4 times a year when bringing extra stuff.  :-\

I think I see a little room for it to be just a skosh bigger:

Now THAT'S a trunk! I think that you could even stash a body in that thing! Provided that the body was prepared properly first of course...   ;)

I wonder if Corbin tests the safety in a good cross-wind. Handling must be affected even under benign conditions?
