Default 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Trunk

How do you mount the trunk? Can I still leave the back seat on?

What type of trunk are you referring to?

Here's a picture of my C50 with Givi hard bags mounted on EZ brackets (fabricated by yours truly) and a Givi trunk mounted on the luggage rack by a Givi adapter plate. My bike has the rear pillion removed and a rack installed., but no you don't loose the rear seat set up like this.

Default Cool Thanks!

Two Questions:
1 Where did you get the air filter cover
2. How did they go on and where did you get the ends for the exhaust.

Danr, I was just looking at the Givi trunks at the bike show here in Long Beach last weekend. Which trunk do you have? What kind of rack do you have? I have the OEM rack, and wonder if the adapter plate from Givi will work on it. Do you happen to know if any/all of the larger trunks they have will work on the C50T? I know I'll lose the touring backrest, but I believe they have a pad for their trunks also. I appreciate your info and help.

This is the one I got

RL Motorcycles - Givi E350 Top Case

RL has good prices and good service

It comes with the adapter plate. I opted for the optional brake light kit and don't regret it. I got the flat black color. Don't see why the larger ones wont work. The E350 looks proportionally correct on the C50, IMHO

Thanks for the info. The guy I talked to at the show left me thinking it wouldn't work on a cruiser, but that didn't seem quite right to me. It looks good on your bike too.
