pelican cases for wee strom

Hi ,
So .... is there anyone who knows the ropes concerning mounting pelican 1550·s on a wee? Can anyone who·s the least bit handy (not me) fit the buggers and how? Which rack system can one use with a good result? Is there a dealer of the whole lot in the UK (thought about picking it up when I·m at UK meeting)?
It·s bloody awfull being so fumblefingered .
Cheers.... and yes.... love and peace.
Dan

Cool Yes

Yes, I made my rack out of Aluminum angle iron from the hardware store, for my V-Strom DL1000 same rack. I took the rack off found the center drilled the strips bolted the top-case on, put the rack back on, bent the aluminum strips down and then ran another strip from the passenger-peg to the two (2) strips from the top-case and cut off the excess. I'm looking for my camera, as this is prolly useless without photos.

Talking Found Some Photos :)

Found some photos






These were took with a regular camera as I haven't been able to find my digital, so they're a little scratchy, but if you look they pretty much show the detail of the design.

Loads and loads of thumbs

Thanks swampfox.
Looks good. Problem with not being the least bit handy though, but I·ll get help from somebody who has·nt got 10 thumbs!

Cheers .... Dan
