I have removed the trunks and only sometimes screw in the center trunk the bike without the trunks is much lighter and rides better and you should remove them bob, if you do not use them without them you can reduce the spring preload a little to make the bike softer because they do not load the rear of my rx3/4 because it is 300cc, after removing the trunks it became very hard and this is the best proof that they weigh. i am also thinking about changing the front gmol to a smaller one, making the passenger footpegs out of tubes instead of casting and changing the heavy casting on which the central plastic trunk is mounted to the tubular holder for the metal trunk. bob unscrew all the trunks, adjust the suspension and ride without the trunks, the rear of the motorcycle will be leveraged so you can let go of the spring and it will not hit the rear so much on bumps due to the reduced weight.
