I'm thinking of putting a Yakima "space cadet" cargo boxon the tail end of my '86 Westy poptop.  This box canbe seen at  http://www.yakima.com/products/dynamic/8007106_6.html I'm not particularly biased toward Yakima, but this box seemslike a good fit on the poptop.  Thought a lot about buildingmy own, but it would be very hard to get the things properlyrounded (from at least front and sides), to minimize dragand crosswind problems.  The specs list the box at 38pounds, which seemed a little heavy, but I picked one uptoday at a dealer, and I'm sure it doesn't weigh that much. Probably will directly bolt to the top (i.e. without a rack).Drilling doesn't bother me, I'll just follow Binky's adviceand "Don't drink and drill." (Matt Groening, Life in Hell.) This box is pretty aerodynamic in all directions, and shouldn'tcause too much of a crosswind problem.  I would not beputting heavy stuff in the box--more like backpacking gearand bike wheels. Anybody tried this, or have any advice to offer?  TIA Steve Gough
