Yes, I understand. My large travel trunk won't hold two helmets at a time. ;) I'm very happy to know the medium travel trunk will hold several different models of helmets, one at a time. :tup:

Yes, I have always purchased the large travel trunk. Whether grocery shopping or traveling, I always try to pack the most stuff possible into the travel trunk. ;) Over the years I have heard several owners report the medium travel trunk won't hold a helmet, and since I don't have a lot of extra space for a helmet even in my large travel trunk, I assumed the rumors were correct :doh: However, if both trunks are approximately the same height and width, and the main difference in size is the length of the trunks, I can understand how the medium travel trunk would hold a helmet. :tup:

Does the lid close? If so, that's impressive. :)

The chinese version seems more honest (42L).

I must admit, until recently I haven't owned more than one helmet. ;) I can barely fit my Fly Trekker helmet into the large travel trunk because of the sun visor.

Even though it also has a sun visor, I can more easily fit my GMax GM27 helmet into the large travel trunk, because it is a 3/4-face helmet.

A standard, 3/4-face helmet fits very easily into the large travel trunk. I think it's possible the large, Garage Pro Travel Trunk might hold two, 3/4-face helmets. :)

I have considered buying another JC Whitney trunk, just to cannibalize it for the mount. I think I could transfer the mount to a larger Plano box (like the one we used on the trip to Bonneville), allowing me to easily install and remove the large box.

so where coulkd one find the 20% code ,,spud speaks of??

Keep watching this page: http://www.jcwhitney.com/universal-m.../p2010969.jcwx

They'll often have a promo banner on the page. Today, the promo banner offers free shipping and a 10% discount over $49.00.

If you sign up for emails, J.C. Whitney will also send you the coupon codes. J.C. Whitney frequently offers 20% off with free shipping, and no minimum purchase. :tup: However, these codes expire after a few days. ;)

Hey Spud (and anyone else who happens to have a JC Whitney case and an RX3) - I noted Huck had to drill the mounting plate to match the holes on the RX3 plate - I'm guessing this means there are no other configurations to make it work without having to get out a drill? (I have a drill, but it is very rarely used :P and I'm pretty sure the bits are for wood and not metal *sigh*)

If it were me, I'd sooner drill the JC Whitney plate than the RX3 rack. A set of high speed steel drill bits can be had for cheap at Harbor Freight.

Do you have anybody who could assist you? Sometimes it's much easier with a second set of eyes, and an extra pair of hands.

The good news is that even if things didn't go well for you, a new rack on Taobao isn't terribly expensive.

I do have someone who can assist, but I'm the more patient of the two of us :P Though I fully admit it could be a ploy to get me to do a bunch of the troubleshooting/repairs around here ;)

I would definitely be aiming to drill the JC Whitney plate and not the RX3 rack. I just with I had access to a shop - a nice drill press would make quick work of this rather than my messing about with a hand drill that hardly ever gets used. Good thing I still have the pallet from the bike so I have something to brace on ;)

Thanks for reminding me; I am going to install my J.C. Whitney (JCW) mounting plate today. :) If you drill the JCW mounting plate to match the mounting holes for the stock trunk, you can use the same bolts, and quickly remove the JCW mounting plate, and switch to the stock trunk whenever you like. :tup:

Spud, after you drill the required holes, perhaps you could make a paper template. You could then scan the template and make it available to CR members.
