For 8 or 9 crappy reasons my X-country ride this year failed to launch. I have a top box left over from a GoldWing that I was going to use for the trip.
But now that I have time, I am considering the alternative of a low mounted box off the rear instead of a traditional top box.
I looked for a retail product but could only find an Italian company that makes something like I want but for GWs. And they cost about the same as a used sports bike. I don't mind making one, but if anyone knows of a "store bought" unit, please speak up.
If I make one I'll start with buying a ST1300 trailer hitch for the base mount, Then use "foam core" construction with carbon fiber. The rear side will have a second set of taillights and license plate holder. A conventional trailer plug harness will connect them. Here is a starter sketch of what I have in mind.
