I've been meaning to get some sort of enclosed case for my bike for a while. So I decided to go with the Pelican Case because of the quality and being watertight. I think the 14.2" x 11.4" x 6.5" size will meet my modest needs.
It looks like all I'll need is to drill 4 holes to attach it to my Pro Moto rack. I'll post some pictures once I get it done.

I have one and love it! Use it to carry my laptop back and forth to work. The nice thing is I can put a padlock on it, so when I stop somewhere I have secure storage.
Even use it to carry a 5 gallon can of kerosene, I leave the lid open and strap the can in it.
I take it and the rack off, on the weekends, for off-roading.
It also makes a good place to put stickers.
I put the new case on today. I was able to screw it directly onto my rack. 4 holes and done! It's going to be a lot nicer to put stuff in their instead of having to strap it down.
A suggestion Brien...some metal washers and a rubber "washer" under the metal ones to keep it waterproof. Mine had this when I got it. The rubber "washers" have kept it totally dry in monsoon like weather, not as dry without but still pretty good.
Looks good with the camo, which I really like. Hard to believe that bike was red!

Ya, initially I tried to use metal washers, but because the holes are so close to the edge they wouldn't seat completely flat. Althought, I like the idea of the rubber washers so I will try those.

thank you very much for the reply. I will look in to this. Im a brand new rider and this is my first bike. I think the moto rack is a good starting point for me.
