You know what’s expensive?...Hard cases! You know what isn’t expensive?...Sporting goods dry boxes. Pictured is a set of dry boxes that I converted into hard cases by using the Hepco and Becker C Bow system, some 16g sheet metal, and some spray paint.
Always curious when I see tags blotted out. Folks tell me "security," but they are out there all the time, so seems odd to me.

I suspect you are right about blocking out the plate, but then again maybe ISIS or Russia is watching....not today fellas hahahaBest looking, I suspect, on your OD livery, but impressive period.
You are so right about the expen$ive part. I always cynically think H-B and others price items on what the market will bear.

Again, nicely done.

I was just going to comment about some little bugger going crazy with the markers on his plate !
Nice job and colour matched !
As you state Bill, they are open to public eye always, but I think I remember someone saying that some countries make them public record for people to find out where the address is that things live, for thieves and the like, which is no good. Still the same when parking in public, but here in the States, it's not that easy to get this type of info unless you are a L.E.O. or eq.So, why do folks mark ‘em out?
The real concern for me is information being on the internet that can be used to find other information. Ones plate being visible in a parking lot isn’t leaving you open to the same kind of threat that having it on the web does. There are some real good thieves on the web that know how to gather information bit by bit and use it for a number of bad things.Nice job on the bags guys... most people don't have the time, resources or desire to make their own, so thankfully we still have options for the masses. The biggest part of bag pricing is storing and shipping them!

I'm with you on that. I haven't posted my VIN for that very reason, nor am I sure why everyone seems to do so.The real concern for me is information being on the internet that can be used to find other information.

Who is exhibiting paranoia here?
You can’t tell in the pictures I posted, but my cases are hinged at the aft section, unlike the pelican cases. That was a requirement of mine, much like yourself. I’m glad the post helped you out. I’m very pleased with these for being a cheap weekend project.Sam -- thanks for posting your side cases from various perspectives. I purchased a used set of H&B 38L Xceed side cases with the intent to C-Bow mount them and was worried about how they would fit on my V7 III Stone. Your pictures really helped. While i have the C-Bow plastic mounts installed on the side cases, I have to do some cutting and welding on the C-Bow brackets for the V7 because they interfere with my Givi tail rack (the compatible H&B tail rack is too flimsy and isn't flat).
It appears your side cases are side-hinged like Wildroamer's Pelican cases. I chose the Xceed cases because they were fore-aft hinged. Unfortunately the cylinders for the mounts and cases are differing designs so I need two keys plus a third for the Givi top cases (all keyed the same) and a fourth for the ignition.
