    Budget mod

    At a garage sale, I found a bunch of those wire frame baskets that you find in gyms or swimming pools. The ones with a lid that could be padlocked. I atatched them with small size stainless screw hose clamps (for fuel lines)to the luggage rack. With the lids open, grocery bags. With closed, a level platform for bungee cording all sorts of stuff or a large basket.
