I can't make compound curves easily, I could do a plan curve though.
I was always going to add skirts from the bottom of the box to the level of the passenger foot pegs once the box is complete.
How do you expect it to open? Could you get two fiberglass saddlebags and bolt them together?
I was thinking of hinging the top at the front.
That's a great idea with the saddlebags! I have a pair I could use, but they're a bit short.

Am I right in assuming it's better to have the box as tall as my shoulders, rather than at my shoulder blades?
