A few things left to do .
1 . Mount rear hat box/trunk & paint to match bike
2 .Install windshield (waiting for mounts from New York )
3 .Start working on Ironman or Darth Vader Spree .(I just stuck it on the Gyro to see what it would look like )

Looks to me like you can get it just about anywhere... Autozone, Ace Hardware, Amazon...
Your Right but I think Wal-mart is less expensive ,and also its always hard to find they like to hide it on the bottom shelf.

A Gyro in Antarctica? I've seen stranger things, but it could happen.

Nice Edit 666.

How is that trunk to ride with? Can you still lean back with the curvature of the seat?

Hello sanjuro
CB900F is right on the money They do around 30 - 32 MPH But it's weird because your sitting lower it really feels a lot faster .
And also only the right rear wheel has power the left side just spins freely (1 wheel drive) But they are a lot of fun when your leaning on curves people think your going to fall over .

Hello eliteguy50
When I first put a trunk on I thought it would be goofy .
But it really feels great you can lean back and it's really comfortable .
It actually feels strange riding without it on because if you do lean back there is nothing to support your back .
If you have a Gyro zip tie a milk crate or something to the back rack and it will give you an idea what its like befor you buy a real trunk .
I just dig it and you can store your tools and lock & chain .
