I made a plate and rigged it so the retractable antenna lays down between the center to trumpets.

dude are you kidding me? lol. that is awesome. do you have video or a sound clip?

what if you were to mount the horns on the underside of the rack, then you wouldn't have to worry about possibly needing to take them off should you need your full rack? Assuming they'll fit.

That would have been ideal but as you stated, they won't fit.

That sucks. The angle of your photo makes it look like they'd fit, thats why I said it.

Finally received my storage boxes yesterday and installed them last night. These can be removed when I choose to. I like the idea of the extra storage up top.

Thanks.

I'm still working on a way to put that video together with a true feeling of the horns going off.

Some people have been asking how I mounted the cases on my rack. Here's a shot of how I have secured them. There is one clamp at each of the four corners of each box. Then I got my hands on some very high quality padlocks to secure the boxes with. On the inside of the box I used fender washers with an O-Ring under each washer to maintain the water-tight seal.
