Love the ingenuity in the paddock stand and your Heath Robinson 'storage solution'. You could be on for a recycling grant, too, for finding another use for an old water heater.
However, I have to agree with the consensus that it looks a bit out of place, finish-wise, on a nice new bike. I'd be inclined to look out for a pillion seat unit from a breakers, strip off the cover and foam and modify the base to take a small top box or semi-rigid bag. That way you could flip easily between original pillion seat and your 'bikers' handbag'.
Keep Wombling, mate!
