skooter, I'd love to but I still can't figure out this attachment thing!Huh?Good luck Mr. Corbin. Glad I made my own.
Give it up, boy. Whacha got? Piccies, piccies, piccies!
I used a product called Speedpac, a sportbike ABS plastic backpack. I molded it into my rear seat so it would flow with the lines of the seat. Then removed the innards and finished off with the Factory luggage lock. I sent pics to Jim Shook, owner of Shook Designs who made the Speedpac, assuring him I'm not stealing his patent. Legally, I'm not allowed to make any more for others....or at least advertise that I'm making them. besides, it's TOO labor intensive for a little guy like me to make ANY profit on it. Just not worth it for me to make more for others.
Realistically, it cost me somewhere around $250 just for materials to make mine. The Speedpac alone was $90-something from eBay. Plus I had to pay the bodyshop around 50 bucks to spray it because I suck at spraying paint.
So I'd have to say Corbin's piece should fall in the $300-$350 area for the simple reason that it's MUCH easier (and profitable) for them to bang one of these out on their production line. Hell, it took me 2 months of sanding and finishing to get mine done! I'm sure they have a mold and a jig made to do these easily.
From someone who busted their ass making his own, I STILL think $600 is way over the top.
AND....mine looks like it has twice the storage space.
