Hurley,as someone here refers to them, made it pretty easy. Any 3 bar rack from the mid 60s to late 70s. Late panhead or shovelhead in the AMF years will work. Here is an example. I'll get a pic of it on the bike tonight.

This wasn't a cheap project but it turned out to be what I wanted; not what someone wanted to sell me. This thing I removable,made of metal and rugged. Just what I was looking for. Gravel roads aren't going T shake this apart.

I was very worried about the size before I got it In the mail. I was so afraid it was going to be to big! I think its borderline. But it'll have to do. It actually looked better for size when it was OD green. The Silver makes it look bigger.

Old Sliver is a pack mule now!!!��

Pulling the slats would only gain me 1/4-3/8". Before I go through anything like that I want to go to a bigger tank. Hopefully that will diminish the size of the box. Alter in the color of tbe box is an option too. You'll notice it doesn't look nearly as large in OD. I did put some padding in the base. Some closed cell foam. About 1/2" or so.

Very nice. Now all you need are some knobby tires, and two ammo cans forpanniers and people will think you have an Adventure bike

Yeah, that should put things in perspective somewhat.
And the color did really change the apparent size.

Good, a metal box is hard on the cargo.
