Although the NTX has hard bags and thus lots of storage room I thought it would be nice to have a dedicated storage box for tools and other dirty/greasy stuff. The PVC tubes are one popular idea but, having too much time on my hands, lots of scrap aluminum, and a TIG welder....

More photos...OK:

The box tapers from rear to front because the frame mounts are not parallel to the ground.

Box before I installed the fwd end cap

My aluminum stock is much thicker than what the locks were made for so I had to do some milling.

The box is about 4.25" wide so it still clears the suspension at full compression.
 
You do know there is a serious problem with that.





You didn't make one for me to run a thorough test on. :woohoo:
 
Kirb (John Kirby) on Adv Rider is my candidate for making a bunch of these. I have offered mine as a prototype. John has connections with lazer cutting, milling, and bending technology. I got a stainless rear rack from him and it is a beautiful piece of work. Recommend you all pile on and bug him to run off a batch. Just a thought.

Very nice work, any idea how much it weighs?

I'm guessing it's about 2-3 lbs. This is about what a tube would weigh if you used schedule 40 PVC, end cap, and clean-out. If Kirb does one he will be able to get the weight down a bit by using thinner aluminum and bending it rather than welding all the seams. I used scrap aluminum that happened to be tempered so I can't bend it into shape.
