    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've been collecting parts here and elsewhere to achieve a fairing and trunk for my newly acquired 1000G. I got the fairing and bags/trunk from a Wing, and recently got a rack from one of our members here. This post is mostly about the trunk/appearance, but also has some electrical stuff in it, so I put it in this section.

I got the rack installed yesterday & today. I refinished the pitted chrome with some black Rustoleum. I had to shorten the legs and re-drill the holes where it mounts to the shock. I made a couple of aluminum mounts to attach the trunk, and it came out really well for the fit. While I was at it, I added one of those wig wag devices for the brake lights, and the bulbs are the 30 LED ones from superbright LED. I also replaced the connector under the rear panel with a 4 cavity Weatherpack one for reliability and to run the wires for the trunk.

Here are some pics and a link to a really short video:

I still have to put some wire loom around the wires where they go up to the trunk & also do some sealing for the trunk, but it was a good two day job.

Looks nice. I know you said you'll put some loom around the wiring but were you going to reroute them as well to keep them out of the way?
 
Yes- it will tuck under the rack & I can zip tie it there. I ran out of the loom size I need when I was running power & ground wires to the fairing.
