S2R pelican case with pictures

[askene]

I commute with my bike and wanted a better way to tote my laptop around then strapping it on my back or the seat.
After a lot of searching I found that no one makes a decent hard case for the S2R/S4R, especially not one that will take a 17" laptop.
So that just leaves me with building my own!

The mount is made from 1/4" aluminum strips and a spare rear foot peg I picked up from someone on here.  It attaches to the peg and to the bolts holding the beer tray on the back




The case is a standard pelican case with some AWESOME mounting hardware from Cariboucases http://cariboucases.com/store/?name=Home









I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  No rattles or anything as I'm riding and SOOOO much nicer then a backpack or ugly tank bag.

Nice!  I'll be doing something similar soon with my old BMW bags.  I sold the original mounts (Doh!) so it looks like I"ll just have to build my own .  Also looked into that mounting system, nice to see it works as well as it looked like it would work.

The beer tray bolts are quite fragile and so is the plastic they are attached to (I know )

I'm almost sure the bolts and/or plastic will fail.

I recommend bolting it with it's own bolt in a freshly drilled hole to the side of where it is now.

Otherwise great piece of work

Thanks for the comments!
Yeah, they're not quite as sturdy as I'd like.  I'm not crazy about press fitted bolts into plastic.  I figure once I decide what to replace the beer tray and marker lights with I'll put some bigger bolts through those mounting holes.
