RAA4.....its image 74. They are on a grey Rocket, and look to have double tailights on each bag. I thought they were a pretty cool look, haven't seen them before and thought someone here might know something about them?

This seems like a pretty cool setup.
 
That is BobbyK. You can PM him and he'll get right back to you. I rode down to RAA behind him and they did look really good. He had them wired in as brake lights and they lit up pretty well.
 
These are 60's era Buco fiberglass bags, They come up on ebay sometimes. Usually go for between $200 - $300. Most were mounted on Honda "Dreams" or BMW's. The hardware is chromed steel and rivited to the bags. I got lucky, my hardware had some surface rust but cleaned up OK. I used stainless allen head fastners to re-attach the hardware after the bags were painted. Mine came wired for lights, but some don't. I had to redo my wiring, made both lights come on for brakes, the outer one only for turn signal. Red and yellow lenses are available from taillight king on the internet. I mounted them with easy brackets. The Givi Speedpack mounted on the luggage rack is also no longer available, got mine on ebay. It looks neat, but holds little. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have messed with it. My passenger backrest stays on most of the time. I got all this "inspiration" from a black Rocket on the triumphrat.net forum. Hope this helps.
 
The opening is about 7 inchs wide, just wide enough to take a "brain bucket" half helmet. If you want to haul a lot of stuff you need to get the regular saddlebags. Maybe someone like Flip could get the Buco bags remade, but in a wider version?

Is the trunk of similar origin or is it more contemporary and available?

Very cool setup you have.
