Default Show me your Pelican

No weirdos

I am going to get one for the back of my 06 for locking light stuff up. I have seen the smaller and also one a little taller.

What do you have and what do you carry in it?

I have seen those pelicans break off of the rear rack and go bouncing down the road.... the metal clamps used to attach it broke. Be careful how you mount it

i love my moose tail bag

The Stihl 009 fits between the box and the rack, perfect for those pesky trees across a trail.

Mine did break a clamp, but you just have to keep an eye on things. The adell clamps work great for mounting.

Thank you guys. I want need a hard lockable one so I can put things like my phone, wallet, extra key etc in it while in the gym or wherever. Likely I will store some some other things like spare bulbs and such too.

I would leave my wallet even if it's has a lock. It's fairly easy to overcome the security system with a screwdriver. .

case link: Seahorsecases.com: Seahorse SE-520 Case

it keeps my tools, rain gear, and camera dry and dust free

i am using the clamps listed above but am working on a 8020 rail mount so i can slide on/off easily.

Nice clean 009 deej. You've got my wheels turning now...

Would there be room to slide a plastic scabbard under there?

DOH! I was going to look before I headed out the door this morning. I'll look.... if I remember right there is not a lot of room between the box and the rack, but perhaps a thin fire hose would allow it to still slide under, but probably not a plastic scabbard. But looking at the pictures again, it may be possible to take off the tool bag and slide it between the hand pulls. Just a thought.
