Bet & Win 250 / Re: New Windshield and Trunk for my B&W 250

Just for posterity, I succeeded in mounting my trunk the same as Trancebear, with some finagling of the bolts and nuts and drilling.  I've had the trunk on for several days now, carrying changes of clothes or a couple of nursing books, and it seems very stable.

Thanks so much for the info, Trancebear!  Happy with my purchase :)

Thanks, Trancebear.  I was going by the ship weight, which I assume included packing materials, boxes, etc.  As you say, the trunk itself can't weigh more than 5 lbs. 

Got the holes drilled last night, and I'm going to purchase some shorter bolts today.  Hope to be trunkin' it by tomorrow.

Thanks again for your help!

A question:  About to install the trunk, and I see a warning on the fiberglass of my bike where the installation plate will sit.  Warning states weight should not exceed 5 kg (11 lbs if my math is correct).  The weight of my trunk is something like 10-15 lbs, I believe, unladen.  I see Trancebear has carried 24 beers with no issues.  I intend to haul a couple of non-gargantuan nursing textbooks or a change of clothes.  So we're good with overshooting the 5 kg limit, right?  Thanks for helping out the new guy (or chic, as it were)!

I am new to this forum and fairly new to scooting, but I just wanted to say thanks for this thread.  I sold my Volkswagen to pay for nursing school, and I desperately need more carrying capacity!  I took my scoot to the local dealer and they didn't have anything in stock to fit my B&W.  Ordering this trunk today!

I've had my B&W 250 since May.  I drive it almost every day, and I am now a junkie :)
