Trunk removal

By Spicermech June 5, 2019 in Star Venture and Eluder Tech Talk ( '18 - Present)

Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried removing The trunk from their SVTC? One of the things I really like about my victory cross country tour was the ease in which I could remove the trunk so I could go around town like a bagger. I really like the look of the eluder.

I had mine off for the purpose of installing a trailer hitch. I just looked and found that I didn't take a picture that would help you much. Here is what I have though.

Hey Spicer,, maybe get a peek at an Eluder shop manual and compare it to the SVTC shop manual to see how they each come apart and see if they mounting methods are different.. I got a hunch that Mom Yam used the same frame for both scoots and comparing notes may help in assessing the process.. Sounds fun and doable = all the best in coming up with something and would appreciate any thoughts/pictures of what you come up with!

Has anyone tried removing.... I really like the look of the eluder. Thanks

Agreed! Does the bike come from the crate with the trunk installed? If so, when mine arrives, I'd like to do the quick connects at that time....I'd have bought the Eluder but I need the reverse, and want the rear speaker option.

I've read that the bike comes with the trunk installed but with the rear bolts not installed or somethings so that the trunk tilts forward so to that the bike fits into a shorter crate. Not sure of the details.

Hi Freebird, been awhile, you are correct, my bike after the crate was removed

Thanks. I had read that somewhere but never seen a picture of it.

This thread is extremely interesting to me, and I am sure others as well. It is good to see the rear fender is not "deformed" to account for the trunk.

Did the bags need to be removed to get to the hardware to remove the trunk?

Did it look as though the wiring would tuck under the seat or would a "cover" need to be devised to tidy the wiring?

Was the seat cleanly finished on the back?

I wonder if performing a modification to the Eluder bracket for the backrest would suffice to allow for a "quicker" release function for the trunk?

Thanks so much for the pics!

The fender is not deformed, and the bracket itself is just a couple bolts. Mine was lowered and installed when I was away, but I do npt think the left saddlebag was removed for that operation...only four bolts and an electrical clip. The issue is that there are seven clips on the back rest and two wires, antenna, I believe that are not in clips. I should think you could hide them all in small bag behind the rear seat, and there may be just enough room to tuck them under it... I think it woild look pretty clean. My dealer laughed and said I was crazy...in a nice way....

Removing battery....

• Add to quote

Gday all, while I was playing round with some electrical stuff the other day, I thought that while the front cover was off, I would remove the battery and clean up that little containing area as well. Here is my question.... I can't seem to get a good enough grip on the battery to be able to lift it up over the front lip of the tray that holds it, is there a knack to this that I need to know..... Anyway, The battery is still there with all the road grime on it..... I might add that to get at the battery, I do not have a bike lift to raise the whole thing to chest level or there abouts which I would imagine makes it easier to get at things.... I have a jack is all and I still have to lay on the floor to get level with this sort of stuff and it is very awkward to do things while one is on ones back or side.....  

For the first removal i had to pry it up with a flat screw driver. Its in there pretty snug at first but once you get it out its much easier the second and by the third you can pretty much pick it up with just one hand  

I may be wrong on this but I read somewhere long ago that the battery also has double sided tape on it as well, so the first time removing it is very difficult. Of course this could be wrong, or it could only be on certain models. Let us know.  

There's no tape holding it. It's just wedged it the tight with all the crud build up. I had to work mine out with a flat screwdriver the first time. Just take your time it will come out.  

It helps to put a big plastic zip tie thru each hole Iin the battery post. Helps lifting it  

That's a great idea.  

Thanks to all for the replies and tips... This bloody new vog forum software says I am still watching and even have the email me box ticked and yet none of these replies are alerting me and that is why I have not thanked any of you for your prompt replies.... Gramps....  

When you do a battery change or remove one for maintenance, have a close look at the left side screw for the plastic grill panel and the underside of the battery. The screw is the one that sits underneath the grill on the LHS. I found that my stock screw was a touch too long and had driven through the foam rubber packing on the bottom of the battery bay. It had come close to punching a hole through the bottom of the old battery. It wasn't readily visible from the top with the battery out as the foam closes over the hole. I picked up the battery and felt the hole that was forming with my finger, so I flipped it over to have a look. The new battery went back in with extra washers on the left-side screw to stop the same from happening. I've since replaced all the small screws with better stainless ones. The right-side screw is clear of the battery as it protrudes into what I presume would be the ABS module bay (like my old BMW bikes under the tank), so only the left one directly under the battery is the problem.  

The battery box has a couple of holes in the bottom, push battery up with your fingers and lift out.  

Mike - I'd have needed a jack under my fingers to lift mine out that way. The battery was a replacement from the previous owner that had failed, and was a really snug fit, held even tighter with a lot of solidified crud from wet roads and muddy roadworks. I just did the old rock back and forward until it came loose, and then slipped my home-made pry bar underneath and pried it loose. That tool is simply an old screwdriver with a flat blade and some heat-shrink over the blade-end to protect whatever it is I am lifting/splitting. It gets a lot of use, and doesn't scratch things up.  

While you're in there... you should do the 40 amp Breaker upgrade. 40A circuit breaker upgrade. . . .DONE | Victory Motorcycles: Motorcycle Forums

XC trunk wiring

• Add to quote

I have a 2014 XC and recently purchased a trunk from a 2014 XCT. Before I purchased it I located the plug under the left side panel of my bike so all was well. I have received the trunk and I find that #1 the shells on both the plugs are exactly the same size so they won't mate up and #2 the plug on the bike side has 4 wires going into it and the trunk side has 8 coming out. Obviously I'm missing something (physically and mentally!). I have searched the other XC threads on trunks and have not found anything like this. Can anyone help?  

My CCT came with the trunk and wiring standard...if it would help I can go outside and take a pic of what the connection looks like. Skin  

Never mind. After reading a few more posts and actually seeing the plug I was looking at the wrong one. There is one that is actually plugged into a blanking port that has the same type connector, which is the one I was looking at, and then there is the correct one that was tucked up under the seat. All is well, the tail light works and I'm rocking and rolling. Thanks for your help though.  

Glad you got it handled. Safe riding. Skin  

I was thinking as I read this. I thought it plugged in under the seat area. Never have taken it off so..... They say quick release but, depends on who is doing it I guess. Plus where do I put it, and then I got no place to put my lid when I go in for ice cream.
