Great set of instructions Chanito !
Is that some sort of seat locking device in one of the pic's ? (the pic with a close-up of the helmet lock, there's a bolt head to the right of it)
I've seen someone wire thin cable to the bottom of the seat, then that thin cable gets locked down via the helmet lock.

Looks like a thumb tab to me.

The OEM Honda storage tub uses a little aircraft wire ring(couple inches long, shaped more like a rectangle than a circle). One end is attached under the seat (to the seat latch) and the other end is locked using the Helmet lock.

I guess no one was impressed with my wastebasket storage solution under the "Aftermarket Parts - extra storage" post? Can't say I blame you - but it is functional.

It looks good, but you might need to shrink your images a little bit so we can focus better on it, also a picture of the whole ruckus with the basket in it so we can see the overall look! ;D

Where can I find the sweet bottle at chanito? I want one of those so bad. Its cool that it is removeable for my trips for lumber to Lowes but I would love to not have to stuff everything else I buy into pockets.

Those are 5 gallon quemical containers that here at the dealership i work have plenty, because the carwashing soap cames in them, and we trow them away, but i find some very similar at auto parts for gas at about 10 dollars a piece,

very cool, i was thinking about this thread while i was in my shead looking for some sort of tub like that. I found a 4.5 gallon blue wash bucket. It fit under the seat and with some cutting and black satin krylon fushion paint i made it fit. Now i can carry stuff around once again. I used the same paint to paint the battery box black, so they match. heres a picture

Nice job modifying and painting your own storage device ;D A picture with a bit less scenery and a bit more Ruckus might give us a better idea of how well the paint matches.

This may not be the right thread to ask this question but Chanito's pics are a perfect illustration of what I am asking about. Can anyone tell me what all the plastic hooks and brackets on the bottom of the seat are for? It looks like Chanito is using one of them to hold a screwdriver, which is a great idea. They look like they may have been designed for a specific purpose but I have yet to figure out what.

I am pretty shure. The kryotinite d lock wont fit with out moddifying the tabs. I keep my first aid kit and a bungie cord straped onto those things. ps. sorry for such a large picture i tryed to resize it.

Supr; The plastic casting extrusions and curved doo hickies were placed there to hold a kryptonite type big U shaped lock sold in Japan by Honda Dealers.
