RMdci, No, the aerotrunk is on the 2004 EX250 ( Silveraero) that is not radically streamlined like my 1999 EX250 ( Greenaero ). The Greenaero Ninja's bodywork and the long tail in particular is not easy to remove so there is no place to put the aerotrunk. Besides the tail of the streamliner has even more cargo capacity than the aerotrunk.

The Silveraero bike is pretty conventional with only a fully faired front fender and taller gearing. The aerotrunk is easily removed if I want to carry a passenger or go on a sport ride.

The Greenaero streamliner is consistently breaking 100 mpg most tankfills. I'm hoping to be able to break the 100 mpg barrier with the Silveraero bike and raise its average FE into the 80-90 mpg range.
