Okay, so I know for sure now there are a bunch of motorcyclists on here.
I'm looking for a way to carry my MF kit on a motorcycle. In a car or by foot it's not tough - just load up the LowePro NatureTrekker II and strap the tripod to the back of it. No problem.
But the thing doesn't fit in my Givi 45 liter topcase. It's about 2" too long and 1" too wide. Not counting the assortment of straps and clips and zippers and random doohickeys all over it. I could strap it to the cargo plate I have in place of the passenger seat, except for all the said straps and adjustment doohickeys - this would take an eternity to secure, and it's not very rigid on top of that.
So I'm looking for a simple box type carrier with padded interior that fits in the Givi topcase, and/or can be strapped to a cargo plate. A Pelican case is a possibility, but I'd rather have bag type dividers than foam - it's a better use of space IMO. Also a zippered top would be nice, rather than a hinged lid. Some sort of rigid shell with a nylon exterior, with mount loops and maybe a handle or shoulder strap eyes.
Hmm... I just looked over Pelican, and they DO make cases with regular dividers! Has anyone tried these?
