I needed storage space on the Valk but didn't want to use leather or hard saddle bags.
Decided to try a top trunk like I used on my ST bikes a while back.
This one from JC Whitney is very inexpensive, durable and easy to mount on the OEM rear carrier.
Now I have a place for a small tool bag, extra gloves, rain suit, etc...
Ya'll be safe and have a Happy New Year.

Darn, message sent while trying to add image.
Still can't get the site to give me a usable upload link or path.
Is there a trick to using this feature?

Well, still can't get picture to upload.
But as others have added a link, yes this is the trunk I used.
My past experience with this unit has been very good. I didn't have any reason to find something more expensive. I find nothing wrong with the appearance or capability for the price paid. I believe the matte black finish blends in with the Valk colors.
It works for me. cooldude

If you want to drop more $$$ for what you want that's fine.

Ride safe guys.
