    Looks pretty good despite the fact that the square-ness of the rear doesnt fit well with the rest of the bike... Still has pretty good flow.

    Do you still have any of the parts you removed? If you still have the trunk I might be interested in the lock assy with matching key,nut, grommet and washer if the price is right(New one is aproximately $46 + tax). .Shipping would be to Richmond,BC V6V 3C5.

    Thanks James
