does anybody have a recomendation for a case to mount on the back fender rack. i see deej has what appears to be a pelican 1200 if im correct. any more ideas?

i'm going to use it for drinks or just basic storage.

 

Yep its a Pelican 1200, I saw a Pelican case at work yesterday from a group from the Seattle Aquarium, it was the exact size of the 1200 but twice as high. I think that would have been cool.

 

i bet it was a 1300. im bidding on one now on e-bay. we use the 1200 for amunition where i work it is a good sturdy box. do you think the 1300 will be to tall?

 

Well it depends on how you get on the bike. I use the horse mount from the left side. To get off I put my right foot in front of the right foot peg and turn the bars to the left and swing my left leg up and over the case. But if it were twice as high my leg would would probably hit it.

 

I used an "Otter Box" and bolted it directly to the subframe through the fender.

 

i am a little short but am able to get on the bike without trouble. i had my sons helmet on the rack today and had no trouble so i think i will be good with the 1300.

i have read alot of your posts they are quite informing and entertaining good luck on your canada trip.

 

thats a good option neil.

 

Dewalt case for a palm sander I think they are about the same size as a pelican. They are usually cheap on Epay. Or even a pistol case.

 

It was the right size for me, just carries tools etc, but I believe there is a wide range of sizes available.
I think they are designed/promoted for use on boats as a secure, water proof hard case.
The strap around the middle of the case was an add on by me so as to limit the chances of tools flying everywhere when I crash.
And I do crash from time to time.
Used a strap from inside an old piece of luggage.
