I ordered a iM2100 Pelican Case today
I've been meaning to get some sort of enclosed case for my bike for a while. So I decided to go with the Pelican Case because of the quality and being watertight. I think the 14.2" x 11.4" x 6.5" size will meet my modest needs.
It looks like all I'll need is to drill 4 holes to attach it to my Pro Moto rack. I'll post some pictures once I get it done.

I have one and love it! Use it to carry my laptop back and forth to work. The nice thing is I can put a padlock on it, so when I stop somewhere I have secure storage.
Even use it to carry a 5 gallon can of kerosene, I leave the lid open and strap the can in it.
I take it and the rack off, on the weekends, for off-roading.
It also makes a good place to put stickers.

I put the new case on today. I was able to screw it directly onto my rack. 4 holes and done! It's going to be a lot nicer to put stuff in their instead of having to strap it down.

A suggestion Brien...some metal washers and a rubber "washer" under the metal ones to keep it waterproof. Mine had this when I got it. The rubber "washers" have kept it totally dry in monsoon like weather, not as dry without but still pretty good.
Looks good with the camo, which I really like. Hard to believe that bike was red!

Ya, initially I tried to use metal washers, but because the holes are so close to the edge they wouldn't seat completely flat. Althought, I like the idea of the rubber washers so I will try those.

Looks great! I went cheap with Harbor Freight, but it is still way overbuilt and heavy duty.
$43 before sale and coupon.
I thought about the sideways mount but ended up more orthdox.
The GIVI 45L from the VFR was going to look stupid big, even though more space is always nice!
Rack from procycle.
Hope this helps someone.
