Tail Trunk Liner

[KGBnut]

I just picked up a Vetter tail trunk that I will restore and put on one of my Suzukis. I've never had a tail trunk before and this one came with a thoroughly installed furry liner. It is worn, but very well fitted and installed. It also has some foam padding under the fabric.

Is this original, or maybe an accessory? Or, did someone go to the trouble to make this themselves?

Thanks in advance.

I have never seen or heard of that! I know its not a stock item or anything Vetter. Most likely just somebody having fun created a furry trunk liner.

I'll bet that really helps to keep smaller items from rattling around.

I have a late model of the trunk and familiar with an earlier one. Stock is bare. I don’t know why I never thought of it. Keep it!

It does make it rather heavy, and most of the liner is musty and in poor condition, so I am going to remove it when I restore the trunk. It is interesting though. I may put in a lighter and simpler replacement.

I would make a copy of it using the old one as a pattern. Might just come in handy some day if you would decide you want one or someone else would. Make the pattern copy out of heavy brown wrapping paper.
