I haven't done anything today, but I did find an HD trunk that I am looking at getting for the RK.
Not sure exactly what it came off of but it's in decent shape. Needs to be spit shined for sure.
It is close to the same color.
I have the quick detach rack in my signature pic that I am sure I can fab if need be.
It has lights and all.
Hope to go by there after work tomorrow.

Hope it is a great find. Harley is notorious for taking a basecolor and adding different metallic particles to it, to make it look different in the sun. Red, silver, gold, etc metallics have all been used. Check the actual color of the trunk in the sun, to see if it is the same as yours.

Will do ... Thanks for heads up. If anything at all I will flat black it. I believe that would look better than being off color/mis match.
I can't hardly turn it down for the price!

Nice bike there. Since your tail bag is flat black now, painting the new one flat black, wouldn't change the overall look. They are nice for putting a helmet and jacket in, when parked.

Had an Ultra with one, and used it all the time for gear storage... tp

That is exactly what I see also. From the seat up...It's already black. I picked it up on the way home and will probably mess with it this weekend.
One of the speaker pods is missing and one latch.
Thanks for the compliment on her...She has been well taken care of.

If you are going the flat-black route, one option would be to spray it with Plasti-Dip. Couple of cans would probably give a tour pack three or more coats. If you ever decide you didn't like it you can just peel it off. If it gets a nick or scratch in the Plasti-Dip you just touch it up with more Plasti-Dip. It costs about $9 a can. Pretty cheap compared to painting.

+1 on the Plasti-Dip. Just don't put any of their clear over it, or it won't peel off any longer.

I installed a new Kenwood KMR-D765BT, XM radio, hand control adapter and speakers. Sounds great!
