 19 Notes:

A truck bed box is an easy and durable way to purchase a container for a motorcycle trailer. They are relatively lightwieght, waterproof, and a just about the right size footprint on the road. Looks like this one might have an aluminum frame underneath to save on a little weight. Normally I would not recommend this do to the flexible nature of aluminum, but when attached to a rigid steel box this can work just fine. 

Easy to clean, nothing to paint, and shiny!
