Anyone have a recommendation on a cheap trunk? I have a ventura rack with a passenger grab bar, was going to get some steel tubing from home depot, hit that pregnant dog up with some fire and bend it into a curve and weld it onto the bar. this is the system i have  and im going to make it so i can put a base on it and try to install something like this... any opinions on this pack? i found this guy on newenough.com http://www.motorcyclegear.com/parts/luggage/tail_bags/emgo/portable_motorcycle_travel_trunk_tail_bag.html |

Sears used to have a givi knock off case for about $35. Not sure if they still have it.

I got one from JCWhitney that was a Givi Knockoff for about the same price( due to the latch seemingly like unobtanium for my Nonfango topcase on the Cagiva)....but I would get the Ventura Sport Rack and mount it and then mount the box to it.... edit:seems they went up in price a bit... -> http://www.jcwhitney.com/motorcycle/trunks/c14603j3s18.jcwx?filterid=u0but you can buy just the sport rack by itself for your bike from Ventura -> http://www.ventura-mca.com/products/components/sport-rack.aspx and then lop off the grab bar portion and have a platform to mount the box to that raises it up over your tailight to make it still visable... |

Does it need to be enclosed or lockable?
If not... milk crate and bungee net is about as cheap as you get.

I'll not point out the obvious joke here... But the milk crate isn't so uncommon in the ADV set. |

Maybe. But this is a Monster forum. We have some dignity.  |

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Picked up a piece of steel. just need to make some triangles to stiffen the joint up and wait for the hardcase to come in the mail so i can know where to put the cross bracing. then call it a day.  |

hom much of a load have you put on it for to see the amount of hold it has before it bends or snaps?
