GAME CHANGER / 54 years old long-time rider of many different style motorcycles (42 to be exact) over the years. Currently riding a 2020 Indian Challenger Dark Horse, which i love and have a quick removable trunk. Ive been entertaining the idea of a Goldwing as a second bike, my ONLY apprehension is the trunk. I 100% want the Tour model for obvious reasons, but... dont want the trunk on there when im only going for local rides, even if im 2up, a passenger rear sissy would be fine. I much prefer the look of the bike "trunk-less" / So thanks to you... problem solved. Operation Goldwing shopping has now commenced!!!

I was also figuring the bike could age with me if it could be done. Could be the last bike ever own. Off and on early 40s Leave it on in my 70s. Lol cheers thanks.

Yes, you have to open the right saddlebag, drop down the latching mechanism, and pull the cable out of the bag. We supply a rubber plug to block the hole. You can then just lay that cable under the seat in case you ever had to get into the trunk.

2007 Gold Wing: Conversion of the Trunk to a Bagger Style: Hello, I love the look of the bagger, and have looked closely at the F6Bs... However, I have a friend who is looking to sell his '07 Gold Wing...cheaply. My dilemma is, does anyone know of how I convert this to a bagger. Personally, and it's just a personal opinion, I don't like the look of the trunk and pillion "arm chair." It's a lot of extra weight that I'd move around. I've heard of MBL Innovations for the older models, but they don't seem to be in business, and would love to find a firm that deals with this. It looks like Traxxion Dynamics has a great conversion kit, but for very recent models. Thank you for any help. If you have an older conversion kit with the hardware, let me know!
@Traxxion2 жыл бұрын
Hi Bill! We don't have a kit for the older bike, as we really only deviated into "Accessories" when the new bike came out. If you like the bagger look, the F6B never really caught on, and as a result, you can buy them cheap. I would just search for what you want and get that instead of trying to convert something.

@@Traxxion Hello Max, Thanks for the advice. I think my journey of converting the old Wing to more of a bagger would be like renovating an old house...
