I recommend checking out a Rola rack on etrailer. I think its the best looking basket for the VX. With a coupon, it can be had for about $150 shipped, including the fariing. The curves on the front and rear match the VX's roofline. I've got one on mine and I have been very happy with it. The price is right and it seems better made than the Yakima or Thule. Also, I remember reading a post (I think from Zues) showing a modded basket mount that attaches to the bottom of the crossbars. It made it look more streamlined and easier to access. Good luck with your search and keep us posted on what mods you purchase with your Craig's List earnings.
