Here is a storage compartment that I made out of a 4" diameter PVC pipe, 2 end caps, a few hinges, and a locking mechanism. I mounted it directly to the rack so it's detachable. The box is setup for a padlock to be used but I haven't gone to the store for one yet. It's big enough for all my tools that I use on the bike plus more space for an extra tube, adhesives, ect.. What do you all think?

Yeah, its a bit scratched because I was impatient and didn't let the paint completely dry before attaching it. Oh well, it's gonna get scratched anyway.

 

Good idea!

 

I put my money in one of those at the bank drive thru.

 

Hello 911: theres a crazy biker terrorist transporting a pipe bomb thru downtown. Good idea never heard if the guy with the 09 fitted something similar where the helmet lock is.

 

So the next I'm at the bank, I'll just take their tube thingey.

Also, that will never pass through government security. Ever been stopped for a vehicle inspection becuase of something weird that you were hauling. I'm planning on buying one those slim Pelican cases and attach it to the rack. This way I can carry my spare tools and whatever extra.

 

I like it. That's Deej quality ingenuity right there.

 

Looks good. Don't worry about being stopped for security reasons. If I were you I'd put a sticker on each side that says "TOTAL DESTRUCT".

If any wacko is gonna deliver a bomb they would put the stupid thing in a car trunk rather then strap it to the back of KLX250. But honestly the doofises at homeland security are so worried about justifying their own existance that they just might pull you over if you don't look like an illegal alien.

And if they do, just tell them that you are John Luc Picard of the United Federation of Planets and that you come in peace. Everything will be fine, just say "don't tase me bro" and make sure you have your Starfleet uniform dry cleaned and starched for the court date.

But serioulsy though kudos on the tube.

Actually... One of these tube thingey's would work really well. Hmmm.
