Help on Building a TailBox/Trunk
Try this link http://www.ihpva.org/people/tstrike/...g/fairings.htm
"stratrider" wrote in message m... I love the Angletech TailBox but it's way to much money for me. I have a Blackburn Mtn Rack on my Stratus. I'd like to build a weatherproof trunk/tailbox large enough to receive my day bag (as I commute). I'd like to use a lightweight material and create a finished product that doesn't look like a grammar school kid's first attempt at building a kite! Any thoughts. Jim Reilly |

Jim Reilly You can do some pretty nice work with coroplast. This link below is what I ended up with after I started stripping down my fully faired P38. This tailbox is sturdy, has good capacity, and looks pretty decent IMHO (although you might want to forgo the decal g). If you go to my main page, you can see a view of the inside. http://www.geocities.com/texasp38/p38fc.html Dave Clary/Corpus Christi, Tx EZ-1SC Pilot (Texas P-38 Squadron Retired) Home: http://home.stx.rr.com/dclary P-38 Stuff: http://www.geocities.com/TexasP38/TexasP38.html |

Try this link http://www.ihpva.org/people/tstrike/...g/fairings.htm My instructions for building a Coroplast tailbox are at http://home.pacifier.com/~jwills/tailbox/index.htm and the results are at http://home.pacifier.com/~jwills/tailbox2/index.html I can build a Coroplast tailbox in about 4 hours. If you want to make one fancier, it would probably take a little longer, but I can't see more than 3 evenings worth of work. Jeff |

Help on Building a TailBox/Trunk
Make it out of cardboard and duct tape first, as a model.
