The used scooter trunk a friend gave me was a bargain - free, but... the cheap Chinese construction was no match for the vibration of trail riding and the bottom of the trunk is all cracked out now and it's about to fall apart all together.
I like the design though and the truck fits nicely on my Cycle Rack, has plenty of storage, and I like the fact it locks. I've considered this JC Whitney model as a replacement -

... but wonder if the plastic will be any better? The hard brittle plastic just doesn't take to the vibration. I've though about the ActionPacker some folks are using, but I think it's really way too big for what I want. (Too bad they don't have a smaller version). The kind of plastic the ActionPackers are made of is much different and can handle a beating.
I want a "top box style", I'm not a fan of the panniers some people are using as that's overkill for what I want - don't plan any expeditions soon. I have also seen a few folks using Pelican cases - that might be an idea, though they are kinda spendy.
Any other good solutions? Whatdya using?? - Thanks...!
