but that doesnt look that out-of-place at all.
It looks a
little odd to me but I think I'd get used to it quickly after seeing more. I've always thought most trunks looked odd being hung or perched high and way off the back of the bike. This is most noticeable in profile pics of a lot of bikes. Every time I see such a pic I think of a tail about to wag the dog.
So while it's a "normal" or typical application it still looks odd to me.
I believe this is ToodC's ride.
Whereas the Smuggler isn't "normal" or typical in application it's never looked at all odd to me. It looks integral and factory to me and not an accessory hung off the bike.
The box on the Sheriff's bike looks a
little odd to me because it seems pretty big and is still high up. But maybe a slightly smaller box would
look better. Not normal or typical but not thatl odd to me. I could get used to it in a hurry. Handling would be improved as well.
I once put 50lbs of plates in the Vetter trunk of my GL1000 and it made for a scary ride home. They were packed pretty well but there could have been some shifting inside. It occurred to me how carrying a pillion had never exhibited the same behavior.
