I am a new member. I love th KLX 250. I love the concept of the bike. I need to gain storage, and I have read a lot of post about the pelican box. I have even seen several ways to mount the box, and I was wondering What the best instalation method is.and Also is there any new news about the Clarke gas tank?

 

I used the Adel clamps and I have 5000 miles and a lot of those are on trails and bumpy gravel roads and its hanging in there. Yea what is the status with the Clark tank?

 

Last update stated mid June for delivery.

 

Adel clamps? I will look into that. Is the 1300 or the 1400 better?

 

whats the size of the clark tank supposed to be around they give an estimated size yet?

 

I have the 1200, its really in my opinion the perfect size for the KLX. Not too big for the trails, but big enough to carry a few items, like extra gloves, extra gas, or that occasional quick trip to the store for small items. Here are a couple of pictures.




These three pictures are from Todd I think, I have always kept them in my album, so I hope its OK to post them. Good pictures of the install.





Here are a couple more of my bike. Hey look a 25ft chain, I bet that's over the limit for weight on the rack.



And finally this is the way I carry the 009 saw. Fits perfectly between the case and the rack, couple of bungees and you're all set. Again pushing the limit on the weight.





Adel clamps.

 

those clamps are ok deej, but ask chris , cwgoff, they break under extreme vibration.... like a dirt road going 50-65 mph..... lol.... sturdy little case though......

 

Actually I can see that they would probably eventually break, that's why about 6 months ago when I noticed that my case was twisting slightly I decided to add a bolt through a couple of the clamps with locking nuts. It keeps the case from moving now which I believe is the reason the clamps eventually break.[sm=partyparty.gif]

 

I used three SS eyebolts (cut down to fit) with washers and nyloc nuts. J bolts will work but I just used what I had. Simple and tough! Even fit into two of the mounting holes on the bottom.

That looks like a must have for the KLX. I like the saw addition. Must be some pretty tight trails. I would love to be on one of those rides were you have to break out a chainsaw. I will have to order the box and then see which one will work best for me. I will post some pics when I get it on.
