    Default Tool box storage on a F3-S (Solo rider)

    After a nice 2K trip down to the Ozarks, I knew I wanted to increase my storage capability just a touch. My frunk contained rain gear/gloves/hats/trip munchies/etc, so it left little space if I wanted to store my nice Olympia jacket. I knew I didn't want to go a luggage rack/top case mount for both expense/appearance reasons. Also, being a 100% solo rider, I pondered ways to use my passenger seat. $50 later, this is what I came up with:
    1.) 1/4" thick x 24" L x 12" W ABS rigid plastic = $18/ebay
    2.) 24" x 12" x 12" single latch/lockable Dewalt IP56 water rated heavy black tool = $18 at local hardware store
    3.) Various nuts/bolts/washers/spacers = $7 at local hardware store
    4.) (4) stainless steel 2" hose clamps = $7.50 at local hardware store
    A small amount of time measuring twice/drilling once and it was complete. I did have some 1" ID black hose laying around that I cut/split for the grab handles to prevent indenting them with tightened hose clamps. It came out perfectly . On/off in minutes and will fit a bunch of stuff. Now, my helmet/jacket can fit in the frunk. Yeah .. It's a tool box, but the black (with decals removed) blends in nicely. WTH ...

    ** Dewalt decals removed and small bumper sticker/reflective tape installed **
