Pelican cases..

[drogers]

Anyone found side Racks that will let me mount some pelican cases? It seems that sw motech doesn't make one yet, and the pelican adapters from twisted throttle only work on givi PL racks.

I suppose I could go with one of them as a top case on a sport rack or kewlmetal rack, but I really want them as side cases...

So would the SW-Motech adapters work with the Industries7 PL racks?

I think an adapter would work, but Ind 7 seems to be the only option for PL type side racks. I've searched everywhere, even written to SW and GIVI. They both responded and said they had no plans to offer PL racks for Spyder. It just irks me why the Ind 7 rack is $400 and Givi and BRP PLX racks are half that. If you are trying to do it on a budget, used Monokey GIVI's (E41, E36 and E360 and E21's) (and Pelican cases) are available pretty reasonable.
I made an inquiry to Mad Matt at Kewlmetal. He replied that they were working on a luggage system and to keep in touch.

By the way, in the for sale section, there's a rack/fuel cell mod for sale (using a Pelican top case) fabbed by Stuart O. I built one similar for mine, but used a slightly different mounting system and a Tour Tank. It does cover the passenger saddle though, if that's an issue.
