A little boot for the Lc4

[blackballs]

after a near miss with a cyclist today :spanking: in my lane doing 70kmh down hill he locked it up and kissed the pavement.. was in middle of no where and he was bleeding from quite a few wounds, at this point I wished i had somewhere to carry a first aid kit..

so I went and grabbed a pelican case and mounted myself a wee boot.

first aid kit
tools
tyre levers and tubes
primus and a tube of instant coffee:2thumbsup

working on mounts now for the ortlieb panniers I got today

I have plan; get a spare pillion seat for my NC30, take the seat off so I have the frame underneath and make some mounts for my minimoto to sit on the back. I'll be able to take it to the track without needing to get a car licence so I can drive a car and I'll have a fall back option for when the VFR inevitably blows up

How much was the pelican?
I used a $20 plastic toolbox that's held on with zip-ties but a pelican would be a bit stronger.

shit nordie, thats a good cost effective solution.. I'm a bit embrassed to say I paid $200 slides............... lifetime warrenty ease's the pain a bit

My other boxes are a Ventura bag (large) and a 45L Givi box (far too large :D)

Now there's a good idea guys, I have just been contemplating something more solid than a pack as well....thanks for the pictures!

I vaquely recall some discussion / thread about cheaper alternatives to the Pelican cases on here, copies of the Pelicans ex china (probably)???? Available from Super Cheap or Repco I think?

Nice work, that's a very tidy looking 640, you don't see many black ones.

Bunnings had them, but only in briefcase size or smaller, & only in yellow, which would have totally messed up the stealth look of the 640. They may have a wider range now though.

When I was looking into hard panniers a few months back I found you could land Pelicans here from the US off the web for about 1/2 the local price.

I'm using a Givi E370N (http://www.giviusa.com/caschi_borse_bauli_accessori.asp?CO_ID=18191&lang=en)top box. IF I remember correctly it cost $199.
Holds 39 litres they reckon. I like it except on steep downhills, it sometimes gets in the way of my arse then when I'm trying to get my arse as far back as I can.

And yes, Nordies thread (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=39743)contains all the goss on his Bashplate made from a redundant or broken old style sign after it was upgraded to the newer size... something like that.

That's why I've gone to the little toolbox :done:

It'd been retired after an "accident" and I acquired it directly from the Tasman District Council through the proper channels :D

Yes, well, being that I don't have the Mangatapu at my back door to ride every day, it's not such a problem for me.

Is it just me, is there a family resemblance?
