Welcome to the forum @Hawkspring! Very nice bike. Overall how has your bike been to own?

I posted more experience in the “any happy owners thread” but yeah- very happy. Traded my fatboy after demoing the panam at bike week.
I have only had the blank screen issue occur twice. I live on rough dirt roads 6.5 miles from the highway. Have access to plenty of forest roads here in rural NM near the Gila. 21mph through the forest is pretty magical.

I have also rode it out to California to see friends. Climbed Palomar mountain in fog and rain. If the snow breaks here, I am headed to Phoenix Again for bike week.
endlessly ride able motorcycle. I have always been willing to take a chance on new designs from HD. I hope they keep the panam alive for many years.

I've been looking at this exact box for my daily commute. Perfect for light rain jacket, tire plugs, cell phone, etc. I don't like the look of hard bags and think it takes away from the dirt-bike-a-bility of the PanAm, which I love to do most. My PanAm is a big dirt bike, not an adventure tourer or super-slab eater. This little box weighs nothing and takes up zero space. When I need more, I wear a back pack or strap dry bags to the rear seat and rack.

Ok, so this isn't a saddlebag per-se but it is handy. Its an "EDC box" from Wunderlich America... As I stated in an earlier post, the area I ride in is wooded and dense and traditional hard saddlebags make the bike a bit wide. This box just mounts on the left side. I use it in combination with my Harley top box and I have all the storage I need for a day in the woods or my commute to work. To me, it leaves the bike looking slim and sporty.

Dimensions:
  • Width: 325 mm (12.8 inches)
  • Depth: 105 mm (4.1 inches)
  • Height: 230 mm (9.0 inches)
  • Volume: 4.5 liters

Negatives:

1. You have to unbolt it (three bolts) to take it off, and it's in the way of using any other bags or cases. So you have to unbolt and remove it if you want to swap out.
2. Too damn expensive. Its over 300 bucks. I got mine for 199.00 with a coupon on promotion but it still seems a bit pricey.
3. Its small.. If it were 4" taller and 2" wider it would be much more useful.

Positives:

1. It's small-Perfect for "EDC" stuff. (Airmoto smart air pump, tire plug kit, All my tools crammed into a Maxpedition "Fatty Pack") I used to also keep my NOCO GB40 in it before I replaced my OEM battery with an Antigravity battery, but that's a different post. .
2. Looks pretty cool. (IMHO)
3. Tough, I actually think you could drop the bike on it (at low speeds of course) and it would be fine.
4. This is a stretch.. If you were to take the box off of its mounting bracket, the brackets could be used to mount a pelican case or one of those cool metal ammo boxes. That would look cool on one of those "Enthusiast Edition" green bikes.. Just a thought, LOL

Wait, where's the passenger pad, and doesn't that hold on the riders seat? I must have missed something obvious?

I just posted for the toolbox.. What you are asking about is a separate product from Wunderlich. It's a plate that replaces the passenger seat. IMHO, it's ridiculously overpriced (as are most things from Wunderlich) and the benefit is arguable.
