I made an aluminum luggage rack for my bike some time ago, and used a square Emgo-brand box for holding helmet, or tools, or a couple bags of groceries.  It looked a bit small for my Shadow, so I went looking around for something more appropriate.

Here's what I found:
Givi clone trunk

It took a bit to get the mounting bolts in the right places, but I eventually got it. It holds 2 full size helmets, or my helmet and my riding jacket. Cost of the trunk was about $30 on EBay with $20 shipping. It's a Givi clone, but I couldn't drop $200 or so on the name-brand item.

So far, it works well. Balances out nicely when I'm on the bike, and holds what it needs to.

Next stop: hard saddlebags, maybe?
