How to Mount a Trunk on a Harley Dyna Wide Glide

Harley-Davidson does not sell a trunk, or Tour-Pak, for any Dyna. Harley Tour-Paks and other trunks can be modified to fit any Dyna with a flat luggage rack that is at least 8 inches wide by 8 inches long. Unfortunately, the standard luggage rack for an FXDWG measures about 9 inches by 5 inches and is curved to accent the Wide Glide's bobtail rear fender. The well known aftermarket supplier, Corbin Motorcycle Seats, does sell a 55-liter trunk that mounts on both Dyna Super Glides and Wide glides. It has two liters less volume than a Harley Chopped Tour-Pak and about 20 liters less than Harley's King Tour-Pak. The Corbin "Streamliner Trunkbox" is a simple mount.

Things You'll Need

  • Rags
  • Box wrenches
  • Socket wrench and sockets
  • Thread locker
  • Corbin Streamliner Trunkbox kit including mount
  • Protect your rear fender finish with shop rags before you begin installing the Trunkbox mount.

  • Immobilize the right rear fender rail hex nut inside your rear fender with a box wrench. Loosen and remove the rear fender rail bolt with a socket wrench and socket.

  • Repeat for the right front rear fender rail nuts and bolt. Remove the left fender rail nuts and bolts the same way you removed the hardware on the right side of the bike. Clean and save all hardware.

  • Apply thread locker to each fender rail bolt. Arrange each half of the Trunkbox mount so the two holes in the sides of each half of the adapter bracket align with the fender rail bolt holes.

  • Reinstall all fender rail nuts, washers and bolts through the holes in the Trunkbox adapter bracket halves. Tighten all fasteners wrench tight. Remove rags.

  • Arrange the trunk so the six holes in the trunk align with the six holes on the tops of the two adapter bracket halves. Apply thread locker to the threads of the button head mounting screws included with the trunk and mounting kit.

  • Push each of the button head mounting screws through the holes in the adapter brackets and the trunk so the button side is down. Fasten each screw to the trunk with the nuts and washers included with the kit using small box wrenches.
