Ortlieb does make a rack trunk system. It's used on their Bike Box and Trunk Bag as well as other cases. They even make an adapter that can be used with baskets. I've used the basket adapter to retrofit bags to the Ortlieb system. None of the Ortlieb bags are cheap but the adapter is far better than just about any other system I've run across with the exception of the Topeak rack. But the Topeak bags can only be used with their rack where as the Ortlieb adapter can be used with any rack.

Ortlieb's Racktime line also makes an adapter for their racks. The bag I adapted was a Racktime Trunkit.
