Finished less hitch bar to weld on.
Can figure out length after I get the Trike body on & check for open trunk clearance.

Lock Company is out of the combination flip lock I ordered, so had to use latches for now.

This is a great looking project.

Is the lid hinged?

How are you weather sealing the lid to the saddle bags?

No seal as yet.
There's a lip around the top of the bags with the lid down around it.
Should be good for most rain, but will check it after I get the Trike together.

So I'm guessing you sell these at rallys? You ought to bring a couple up to the MnG in Eureka Springs over Labor Day. I think there are a few trikes in that group.

I was aable to get a Shoreline trailer to add to my goldwing however I am having trouble finding anything about the company. I was going to order a few things. I need to paint it to match my blue and I been adding chrome to my goldwing.
I can make a longer trip now with this trailer.
