I am looking for this type of single seat which appears to have a "trunk" compartment built in. I can't seem to find it anywhere online but I have seen a few people here with it

here is a pic I found:


where can I buy this? (btw the guy with this bike posts here and I found a post where he said that he found it on ebay, but that doesn't realy help me because I can't find anything like it on ebay, however I don't know if there is a specific name for this thing)

That is a Corbin smuggler. Check out www.corbin.com

Yeah, I decided to let you find that bit out for yourself!

At least you know what to search for on ebay.

My bonneville is undoubtedly going to be a money pit, but I don't think I can justify 800 bucks for a seat. this one will have to be a "no" (one of the few).

Their normal "gunfighter" seat is less than 400 bucks but I guess cutting a hole and putting a door on the back ain't as cheap as it used to be.

priceless

Just in case your cash rich, here is a tip.
If you order it now you might get it by the end of the year.
Don't expect it to be the correct color though.

I'll just carry a backpack, thanks

is the Corbin the only seat with built in trunk option on the market?

Their normal gunfighter is all upholstery. The smuggler has a fiberglass trunk. A tank bag strapped to the seat behind you will hold just as much for less than a 10th of the Corbins.

other options

I went all out and spent $5.00 for the Deluxe Cargo Net. It will hold more than you would think. That and a little waist pack that I put under the cargo net for the paperwork and other small items and I am good to go.

These are the best tailpacks I have ever used. No straps or bungees to rub through the paint or anything on the tail. They actually attach under the seat itself and are completely waterproof as well.

They make your arse look big

Oh man, I was swindled. I paid 7.50 for mine.
I did get the purple milk crate for free though so I guess I came out ok in the end.

Here's a cheaper (note still not cheap) option which looks more cafe racer anyways.
Look at the TB84 seat
