I am interested in using Pelican 1550 boxes as rear Pannier boxes on my 06 KLR and am looking at the Happytrails SU rack. Anyone have experience or comments on this rack wrt installation and usage with the Pelican bags? Are there other options in the market, gotchas etc? Photos anyone? tommy in Douglaprieta Arizona-Sonora [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Look at post 163562 for cheap pelican 1550 boxes on ebay. And search on Pelican 1550 here. Search on the rack too. There has been many posts on both.

A plus, when the bike somehow found itself on its side the case(s) protected the tank and other body parts(no damage to cases). The removing the bags using quick release pucks are something of a pain when you have a fully loaded case. >

I am trying to locate a KLR 650 mechanic in or near Shreveport - Bossier City, Louisiana. I need a 6K service, plus I want to go over the bike with a fine tooth comb. And yes, I want to do the valves too. Can any of you recommended an ace mechanic in, or within, 50 miles, of the area? I would rather deal with a knowledgeable person than the local dealership. BTW, no knock against the local dealer(s). Eddie
