Setup and Installation
Installation of the Kuryakyn 6767 Trunk Relocator Kit requires careful attention to detail. While designed for bolt-on installation, some adjustments may be necessary depending on your specific motorcycle configuration.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Standard metric wrench set
- Socket set
- Screwdrivers
- Torque wrench (recommended)
Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is on a stable, level surface. Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical issues during the process.
- Trunk Removal: Carefully remove the motorcycle's trunk according to your Honda Gold Wing service manual. Disconnect any electrical connections and the emergency trunk release cable.
- Bracket Installation: Mount the Kuryakyn relocator brackets to the designated points on the motorcycle frame using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Trunk Re-mounting: Attach the trunk to the newly installed relocator brackets. Verify proper alignment and secure all mounting points.
- Wiring and Cable Management: Reconnect all electrical wiring. It may be necessary to reroute or extend certain wires and the emergency trunk release cable due to the new trunk position. Ensure all connections are secure and cables are not pinched. Note: Some users have reported the emergency trunk release cable may require an extension for proper functionality after relocation.
- Filler Pad and Cover Installation: Position the plastic filler covers and then the vinyl filler pad to cover the gap created by the trunk relocation. Secure them in place as instructed in the included hardware guide.
- Final Check: Reconnect the battery. Test all trunk functions, including opening, closing, and locking mechanisms, as well as any integrated lighting or audio systems. Verify the emergency trunk release cable operates correctly.
If you encounter difficulties, consult a qualified motorcycle technician.
Operating the Relocated Trunk
Once installed, the trunk will operate as before, but with the added benefit of increased space for the rider and passenger. The relocation provides an additional 4 inches of rearward space and 1 inch of upward clearance, contributing to a more comfortable riding experience, especially on longer journeys.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your Kuryakyn Trunk Relocator Kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from motorcycle operation can loosen fasteners over time.
- Cleaning: Clean the metal brackets and plastic covers with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Vinyl Pad Care: Clean the vinyl filler pad with a vinyl-safe cleaner and conditioner to maintain its appearance and prevent cracking.
- Cable Check: Inspect any rerouted or extended cables (e.g., emergency trunk release, electrical wires) for wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure they are properly secured and not interfering with moving parts.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter issues after installing the Kuryakyn 6767 Trunk Relocator Kit, consider the following:
- Trunk Misalignment: If the trunk does not close properly or appears misaligned, re-check the mounting brackets and ensure they are installed evenly and securely. Loosen, adjust, and re-tighten as needed.
- Electrical Malfunctions: If any electrical components of the trunk (e.g., lights, audio) are not functioning, verify all electrical connections were properly re-established and are secure. Check for pinched wires.
- Emergency Trunk Release Cable Issues: If the emergency trunk release cable is too short or does not operate smoothly, it may require an extension or careful rerouting to ensure it has sufficient slack and a clear path.
- Unusual Noises: Investigate any new rattles or noises. These often indicate loose hardware. Re-check all fasteners.
If problems persist, it is recommended to consult a professional motorcycle mechanic.
