Bought a new trunk.

Then I created a custom base for the mounting rack.

The base is quickly detachable.  Evil

Good redneck engineering!   cooldude  I'd probably upgrade to some of those fancy newfangled steel hose clamps, if you can find some that'll fit through the holes.

After I took the photos I added a couple more zip ties at the rear just to be on the safe side.  Cheesy

I used this method with my trunk on my ST1300 for thousands of miles.

I had thought of buying a Wompus rack but just can't justify the $275 when I can make this homemade.

Did you notice the black gloss spray job on the plywood.  cooldude  3 coats for that deep custom paint look.  Cheesy

Good man. Well spotted.  cooldude

Just lost the darn cap.

It does make a good seal so long as the spout is dry when applied.
