Install the trunk on 2021 non tour Goldwing

Hi all, Looking for advice. When I bought my 2021 GW, the one without the trunk, I lost a ton of luggage capacity I had on my Kawasaki Concours-my helmet fit easily in a saddle bag. Anyhooo, I want to have the color matched, uber expensive trunk installed. The previous owner had added a few googaws, grip covers (I 86'd those immediately), the gold strike highway foot rests, meh, the center stand YAY! and a luggage rack. I'm assuming some body part was removed to add it, what I'm hoping is that, that will not affect it's removal and installation of the trunk. Has anyone else done this, had it done? Appreciate any help, I really need more luggage capacity.

That Givi looks really good on your bike.
Is that a Givi V47 Monokey? Have you had any issues with build quality, water resistance , or sun fading.

No issues - yes it's the V47 MonoKey. 3 years old now, no sun fading and it works well. Put the luggage rack made for case on it also and even with some pretty heavy rains no water penetration. I take it off usually after every ride and it still functions as designed. Also the Monokey case attachment does allow for a different GIVI case if I ever go on that really long trip or run away from home I can get the extra large square case...
I went with the GIVI option, I like having the flexibility of removing bag on long trips or when I am just running out - it was a 20 minute install, it is rally secure and solid, and can be removed with a handle when I want to stow my laptop, IPAD, other valuables on a long trip and quicly remove to bring to room. Easily holds full face helmet along with a lot of other things I want to have easy access to like sunscreen, windshield cleaner, etc. I haven't regretted the choice one time after three years and two long tours, and there are a lot of styles and options. I think the color scheme blends decent with the bike as well.

I would like to put the same case on my bike. What mounting equipment did you use? Is it the SRA 1172? I can't figure out what mounting equipment goes with what case. Help.

Yes it’s the SRA 1172. It has everything you need for any Givi MonoKey case you select. Real simple to install. Shop around it retails for 260 now but when I validated it was the right one tonight I saw it for around 80 dollars less. Hope it goes well for you.
Cruiseman's Garage on YouTube has a video where he replaced his 2018 trunk with a 2022 trunk. Not quite the same as putting a trunk on the non-tour model but it will give you an idea of what to expect.

Here is what a Shad SH39 looks like. May be a little small for touring but great for commuting.

Thank you for the feedback. I found one for under 200.
