Vetter rear box on H-D Heritage Custom

[kjell lindberg]

It looks as if Rear luggage box no. 36-200494 was inspected and approved jan 22 1979
I have a small label inside with that date.
Oddly enough I have the early Vetter lettering on the rear (with the Vetter symbol), but latter lettering without the symbol on the sides.
The box is totally standard and not tampered with as far as I can see.

Still have not located a new lock here in Sweden so I might have to shell out some greens and buy a replacement in the US.
Shiping will cost as much as the whole luggage box...

Pictures will follow as soon as the box is mounted securely on the bike.

Please share!

 

[kjell lindberg]

I will.

Wow! I just looked to see what it would cost to mail something to Sweden... $33.95 appears to be the cheapest method. That is crazy!

 

[kjell lindberg]

Yea, tell me about it…


I had to find my luggage box in Great Britain.
The cost of shipping was just so much cheaper when compared to have it shipped out from the US.

Vetter equipment 4-sale here in Sweden is about as common as a Hen teeth.
A few older Goldwings imported from America still have trunks and fairings from Vetter.

Well, if you want to pay for the postage, I'm sure I have a lock somewhere. I just need to find it. Keep looking for a cheaper option, but the offer is there if you want it.

 

[kjell lindberg]

Much obliged, but I'll try and find a lock closer to home.

 

[kjell lindberg]

Sucess.
All remaining is minor adjustments on position and connecting the lights.

looks good

 

[kjell lindberg]

Installed and connected.
The light looks blueish in the picture, but is fully red in real life.
I like my Vetter rear trunk a lot despite what my friends thinks of it!

 

[brianinpa]

That looks good!

 

[kjell lindberg]

Thanks Brian!
I think I'm the only one owning a Vetter trunk with a Harley attached here in Sweden…

This Vetter is really cool and special. How long have you owned it?

 

[kjell lindberg]

The bike 4 years.
The Vetter trunk since this spring.

 

[kjell lindberg]

Changed bike from '09 FLSTC to '98 FXDWG.
Trunk stays!
Never did see another Softail Heritage with Vetter trunk on my Europe riding, do not anticipate to meet another EVO Dyna with a Vetter trunk in the nereby future.

Now, if I could only find a Rooster fairing...

 

[Larry Fine]

It's rough, but appears to be intact.

Pardon Our Interruption...

 

[kjell lindberg]

Thanks Larry.
But the cost of shipping would be huge.

 

[kjell lindberg]

Found a decent Rooster on an action site.

Nobody wanted it so I bid 1 Swedish Crown and won.
10 Swedish crowns equals $1
