I found a decent sized trunk box at JC Whitney dot com and thought others here might be interested. $53.99 and $71.99

I bought one just like it from my local scooter dealers. He was selling them for 20.00 because the "removable" option means they like to remove themselves from the bike when you hit a bump. I mounted it permanently to my wife's scoot and she loves it.

I got this trunk box in the mail today. I really like the design, but the orange stripe leaves something to be desired. I had some black spray paint sitting around and gave it a quick coat. Looks better.

The mounting bracket is a little worrisome. It has a quick release mechanism that seems a little flimsy. I may end up putting a bolt through it to secure it more tightly.

The back side looks like a light but is just a reflector. I think it would have been cool if it had places to add lights if one desired.

As far as space goes it's pretty nice and large. I went down to the boot store and bought myself a new pair of work boots and the entire box fit in the trunk with no problems. Work boot boxes are kinda large.

All in all it was worth the $75. I would buy one again.

I have the same trunk in the large size and it works great. It will hold 2 helmets and I can slip a sweatshirt in with 1 helmet with no problem. I've had mine over a year now and it hasn't bounced off yet.
