So I went ahead a grabbed one of those Duratool cases.
http://www.stromtrooper.com/general-v-strom-discussion/90554-yet-even-cheaper-top-case-option.html
Now I'm staring at it wondering how to go about installing it.
I'm sure I could just screw some holes in the bottom of it and put a bolt facing upwards from the OEM rack up into the case and bolt it on and be done with it.
Little dab of silicone on the holes and I'd be good to go.
BUT I kinda want it to be easily removable.
SO now I'm thinking maybe use a wingnut on the inside of the case to tighten it down to a bolt that comes up through the OEM rack with rubber washers to cut down on vibration maybe ...but I'd be worried about it backing out.
Or use one of these ...
and tighten a wingnut on and then use the cotter pin as a failsafe?
I don't think it would rattle to bad if I used rubber bushing or rubber washers on both side of the bolt against the OEM rack.
I also think maybe I could even just install it with the rubber OEM mat still on to lessen the possible rattling even more.
Looking for ideas from people who have mounted these with or without DIY quick release setups.
