Noon Day Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 I will need to replace or remove my rear trunk on my 2000 mm because of extensive cracks to the bottom of the trunk. Anyone have a trunk that would work or a suggestion on permanently removing the trunk?
rbig1 Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 you left faster than I can type. guys have any pics of trunks you have retro fit on a gen2
XV1100SE Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Wasn't there a recall on the early 2nd Gen Ventures? They added more support under the bottom. Not sure if it would help 20 years later but you could ask a Yamaha dealer to check if yours was part of the recall and if it had been "fixed".
slowrollwv Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 All the trunks are the same from 99-13. They added four pieces of metal to the bottom for support. There is always a few trunks on Ebay if you want to replace yours.
Freebird Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 I think only the '99 models were missing the additional supprort and large washers. They didn't actually recall them but came out with a free support kit. Nothing was sent out to owners but members of the forums and etc. became aware of the fix.
JDaniel Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 I had a body shop repair the cracks in the base of my trunk on the 99 RSV. I then cut a piece of 1/4 inch plexiglass to match the base of the trunk and mounted it to it. No problems after that.
Phrog Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Ebay. And if you're lucky, you'll find one the same color!
