It just depends on whether you want to be able to lock your valuables or not. I recently got the JcWhitless box that was around $59. I really like it. It works very well. It's nice because it can be removed with the key, and then your left with a flat mounting surface, not unlike what the KLR's rack is. So you can still use the rack normally. It also has a handle so you can use the box as luggage it you go on a trip. I just leave mine on there and use it as a trunk/glovebox. It's great for shopping, fits a full face helmet, and is big enough ti lay a binder in there flat.

Mitch - I use the Kawasaki soft tail bag and love it! Obviously, its not lockable, but its a very nice piece; holds a TON of stuff. The front attachment straps are a liitle bit of a pain in the a$$ to fish through under the rack, but it's an acquired "art". One thing; make sure you bevel the bottom rear edges of the plastic rack center piece where the straps contact it. If you don't, they'll saw through the attachment straps. Either way, you'll love the added versatility.

Mitch, I went to Wally World and purchased a soft sided cooled that fits the tail rack perfectly, it has the hard plastic shell inside. I removed the shell and cut a piece of plexiglas to fit bottom, removed three (I think) of the screws from the rack and used countersunk ones to sandwich the cooler bottom. Insert the plastic shell and done. It has worked great, as a cooler and as a trunk. It is almost waterproof. The only bad part is you lose easy access to the tool kit, but my KLR never breaks down so no big deal(yet). Hope this helps. crazydave ______________________________________________________________________________ Send a friend your Buddy Card and stay in contact always with Excite Messenger http://messenger.excite.com> what would you guys suggest, bag or box? > and what manufacturer and $$$$? > does anyone have the tailbox from j.c. whitney that > cost about $59.00? > thanks...mitch
I might consider one if it fell to $500 or less. Sh*t, I can get a new moped for $800. Mark B2 A2 A3>The >initail retail is supposed to be $3k, but I'm sure they will go down in the >future.
