[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1160509, member: 27619"] The set-up I have for LD Riding doesn't allow for a Top Case. This is bad ... I have practised my routines using one, and I don't like to have to change that because it has always worked well to the point that a top case is essential. I could arrange one by changing my Aux. tank for something different, but that is a bit too spendy. So I wondered about the frankly useless shape of the side cases, and all that fresh air in the lids ... and came up with this. Now, instead of going around the back of the bike to open a trunk, I simply have to open the left side case: [IMG]https://twigg.smugmug.com/Motorcyling/2005-Yamaha-FJR1300A/i-qwTqPZR/0/L/DSCN0100-L.jpg[/IMG] Sorry about the feet :D The only changes to the case were four small holes in the inner skin, to take the rivets for the hinges. The dividers are cut from one of those yard signs from Home Depot. They are taped in place and are rigid. [IMG]https://twigg.smugmug.com/Motorcyling/2005-Yamaha-FJR1300A/i-bmh66vg/0/L/DSCN0102-L.jpg[/IMG] I need to find a way to clip it shut, although it stays shut for the most part when the case is closed. Also, on top of that panel I might think of attaching some straps to hold my laptop. [/QUOTE]
