top case slide mount

Post by pwhatfourever@sbcglobal.net » Thu Oct 09, 2014 8:55 pm

I was looking online trying to find a way to mount a top case that could be easily removed. I found these marine tracks and slides, etc. Does anyone have a better idea? http://www.rochfordsupply.com/shop/Boating_and_Marine/Boat_Hardware/Side_Mount_Slide/index.html http://www.rochfordsupply.com/shop/Boating_and_Marine/Boat_Hardware/Slide_Lock/index.html http://www.rochfordsupply.com/shop/Boating_and_Marine/Slidetrack/Slide_Track/index.html http://www.rochfordsupply.com/shop/Boating_and_Marine/Boat_Hardware/Channel_Trim_End_Cap/index.html

top case slide mount

I have GIVI top case. Push the button and it pops right off. Wish I'd remembered that when I was struggling to right the KLR after it fell over in an overlook on the Cherohala with the case full of tools and manuals on my way to a tech day. Michael Sent from my iPad

top case slide mount

Post by Martin Earl » Fri Oct 10, 2014 7:41 am

At first glance, I doubt that this mounting (boating/track) system is durable enough for motorcycle, especially Dual Sport use.I also have a GIVI top box; I wish it looked more like a (manly) Pelican case than a 3rd grade girls bicycle box.m1

I believe the GiVi mount is an E127.  I have one in stock if you are looking for this mount.

top case slide mount

Post by mark ward » Fri Oct 10, 2014 9:49 am

Top cases. I like my pelican, and made rails so it mounts just behind the stock tool kit. (Getting into the tools a plus, NOT sitting on the gas tank when camping gear ect loaded MAJOR.) I like the flat top case so it's ALOT easier to pack & Strap items  on top. (tent, fishing gear etc.)  PS. Had my cousin believing I delt with ANYTHING on the road, (camping with a tarp & no tent)  UNTIL! I stopped at Walmart and bought a $1. plastic shoe box to keep my bread from smashing. (Can't have PB&J with SMOUSHED Bread. LOL)  As the bread size went down, other things when in. apples grapes etc. YUMMMMMMMY On Friday, October 10, 2014 10:29 AM, "'Fred Hink' moabmc@... [DSN_KLR650]" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

vairing voltage. shop charges for some repairs question

Post by achesley43@ymail.com » Fri Oct 10, 2014 11:42 am

I went into the electrical system under the gas tank again this morning to find that elusive ground. While there , pulled everything apart and wire brushed and sprayed CRC22 on every thing. An electrical cleaner / luber I use to use when working on drilling rig electrics. Found two things. The ground at the water reservoir was in bad shape. Thanks Fred for reminding me to check this. Also had one corroded plug that came apart so redid it with new connectors. Put everything back together and put the 276C on to monitor voltage and it's about as steady as I've ever seen it since new. Even applying the brake lights , stays the same. V ery happy with the out come. 
Was checking and I don't have any records of changing the spark plug, just cleaning it and dressing it. So, think I'll treat it to a new one today. Need to run by my local shop anyhow to look at a bike for a friend. LOL Local is about 35 miles away I'm thinking.
