My best-kept secret, so far (except from guys I ride with) is my source for new, good-looking and affordable trunks in various sizes and colors-- and all under $100. I have no stake in this company (don't even knkw them) but have bough three trunks for various bikes from them. At these prices, there are minor glitches-- my "removable trunk" ended up bolted down, when the latch would handle the removal part-- but it locks, looks good, and saved me two or three hundred over Givi, which i had used before. Mounted my lates (on 2009 Bonneville) on a MS Enterprises rack, which installed easily but probably won't handle too much weight. http://stores.ebay.com/Northeast-Mountains

Cheap trunks
If you're looking for <ahem> a cost-effective trunk, go to JC Whitney. I have one on my Scrambler, mounted on a Renntec rack. Works fine for what it is. I doubt it would survive any sort of crash (or other physical abuse); but for fifty bucks it's a steal.

Foothill: Got a link for that box? Does it come with the brackets for the rack? Already got the rack and would like to lose my saddlebags for something easy to put on and take off for trips. Thanks!

Here's the link: http://www.jcwhitney.com/motorcycle-travel-trunks/p2010969.jcwx?filterid=c14523u0j3
and yes, it came with the mounting plate and hardware. I substituted some shorter bolts just to clean it up a little; but what's supplied with the trunk works as is. Took me <5 min. to mount it up.

Thanks! I guess you got the medium? Don't think I want anything bigger than the one in your picture; is that mounted on a Bonneville? Might you have a pic of the entire bike with trunk mounted? Thanks again!

They have two sizes, and this is the smaller of the two. It's mounted on my Scrambler, so yeah, a Bonneville. I'll try and get a pic of the whole bike with the trunk mounted in the next day or so (before the weather gets ugly again).

It's a Slipstreamer 'Spitfire', available everywhere for about $75. Mounts in a few minutes and works well.

I found those on eBay - roughly $35 for the pair I think. They aren't very powerful, although I put them on primarily so others would see me during the day, as I don't ride much at night any more.
