I don't normally run my trunk but I have been lately with mama with me, it always bugged me that stuff would slide around in there because of the slick plastic bottom. The other day I picked up some beers from the store on the way home from work and almost every corner I could literally feel it moving from side to side... 

I know some trunks have an optional rubber piece to put in there but it seems they don't make one for the Kawi 47 trunk, so I made one myself today and it only cost me $4 for a piece of grooved rubber sheet from the hardware store. 

I started by putting some newspaper in the trunk and then with a pen traced the inside flat bottom part, you can feel where the side angles start with your finger. Then I cut that out and traced onto a piece of cardboard, I used last nights pizza box. 

Then I laid that on the rubber piece and cut it out with scissors, worked like a charm! 

No more slipping n sliding in there, nice and grippy!

Looks like it came from the factory. Very nice!

Now you need to add automatic lights

And you choose black as the color of the matt- who would have seen that one coming?

  :oJay, mamma did that for ya, right?   

Did you make one for the Smuggler? Does it need one?
Just wondering, so when I get my Smuggler.

If your junk is sliding in the trunk......you ain't got enough in it!

+1 Fill er up.

Nope, the smuggler trunk comes lined with carpet, plus not enough space for anything to really move around much in there.

Thanks!

For a trip yes, agreed. But the other day it was just a case of beer in there and nothing else because I was just coming home from work... 

You should have bought more beer.  One can never have enough of that staple.

Ah yes, can't argue with dat Sparky! 

I see too much black inside the box. It looks a little boring. I think maybe those lid support cables need to be gold.

Definitely gold brocade supports, and maybe a tap-light?  Or would that up the coolness to where it might possibly interfere with the mad pow-ah ZG?

A 12-pack fits in each side case. 
Love going to the grocery for random things.
I've actually had people watch me pack and then stroll by saying, I was wondering how you were gonna carry that! 
KIPASS, Beeotch!!   

Nice little mod, ZG!

good idea but I do keep my rain gears in this case so it does act as filling around ..............bottle of wine and beers 

or you get one of those collapsible/expandable water coolers for your camping store of choice. You know the ones, looks like a bladder with a spigot. Yes, it means drilling a 3/4" hole in the case. Fill that bad boy with brew and now we're talking 20+liters, on tap. throw some ice over for chilling, and the drilled hole is now a drain. When non-liquid cargo, you pop a rubber stopper or plug in and its proper again.

A 12-pack? Well now you're just wasting space. 

 

Pabst? You got Schlitz in the other side?
