That sounds like a good option. I would just be concerned with getting a good seal on the lid after cutting the bin in half. I guess they would work perfectly for an open top design though.
I am thinking of modifying some pelican cases for a bullet proof design. Might be a little heavy/overkill for a road bike though.
