"texasbandit" The JC Whitney cases are available in the small size (about what you want) or the large in the matte/flat finish -- it bolts right on to a Suzuki rack.  The gloss version might take paint better than than the textured matte however.

GETFURIOUS: BASED ON YOUR RESPONSE, YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BE CONFORMIST RATHER THAN INDIVIDUALS.....


 :stickpoke: So, that's[/b] what it takes to separate an individual from a conformist?  :duh:

I GUESS THE NEXT THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WILL BE USING BLACK TEXT INSTEAD OF BLUE.....


As long as the color you use doesn't contrast so bad it's hard to read, no one cares.

Quote
A LOT OF YOU USE PHOTOS AND WAY TOO MANY EMOTICONS IN YOUR POSTS THAT I DON'T LIKE, BUT I DON'T ASSUME THAT JUST BECAUSE I DON'T PARTICULARLY CARE FOR THEM, THAT SOMEHOW THEY ARE PLACED THERE TO OFFEND ME.....


Pictures are a natural part of sharing what we're talking about, like in what we've done to our bike, help someone with their problem, show off a road trip, or just general fun. Emoticons are commonly used to help put some personality in the post since voice tone inflections don't transfer to (type)written word very well. I'd say they would have more to do with defining one's personality than the case they typed in.

Quote
I THINK THAT TYPING IN ALL LOWER CASE IS TERRIBLE, BUT I DON'T POST A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER.....

WHAT DOES MATTER, IS WHAT THE PERSON HAS TO SAY.....


I think typing in all one case, upper or lower, and not attempting to use proper capitalization makes it look like someone has a lack of education... but what I think about it doesn't really matter. What matters is it is a generally accepted rule of society - like wearing clothes.

It's not like you've been ignored for typing in all caps, people have still responded on-topic to your posts, so it hasn't proven to be an insurmountable issue to us. We would just prefer you type in a normal fashion.

EVERYBODY HAS THEIR PET PEEVES AND PREFERENCES.....

YOU BASICALLY WANT ME TO RESPECT YOUR OPINIONS AND PREFERENCES, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO RESPECT MINE.....WHY?....


It's been explained already. You won't go to jail for typing in all caps like you might if you were to run around town naked, but it is the polite thing to do.

Quote
WHY TAKE SOMETHING LIKE CAPS AND MAKE IT A BIG ISSUE, JUST BECAUSE I SEE IT DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU DO?....


We haven't been making a big deal about it. You've been poked fun at in this and other posts with funny little pictures to give you the hint. Perhaps it seems that way since more than one person has brought it up in one way or another. If you've been following the board long, you should know this was meant in a friendly, good-natured, ribbing sort of way and not meant to be an offensive assault.

Quote
ARE YOU SEEKING TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES, OR JUST PEOPLE WHO HAVE PERSONALITIES LIKE YOURS?....


If the case & color of your typing is what defines your personality, that seems pretty shallow. Seems more like a weak excuse to use to keep using all caps. Everyone else here - and the thousands of other boards out there - define their personalities with the words they use (and pictures or emoticons sometimes) - not by the case they type in.

I REALLY THINK THAT YOU ARE MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HILL.....

JUST "MY" OPINION.....


Really? I was thinking it's more like the other way around.
I feel you're making a bigger deal out of it than anyone else... but that's MY perception.

It's a matter of courtesy, not "conformity."  Proper capitalization -- or even just all-lowercase -- is easier to read (as demonstrated by typeface studies conducted by advertisers who want their ad copy to be as readable as possible). The only exception I can think of is that some dyslexics have an easier time with all-caps because it makes the writing "swim" less.

You're asking people for free help, so why make it harder than necessary on them?  Again, it's a matter of courtesy -- it's never required, but it sure makes people more cooperative....

I DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY ON A DISCUSSION BOARD, BUT I ALSO DON’T THINK THAT ANY OF THIS WAS JUST A GOOD SPIRITED RIBBING.

I HAVE SAID, WHAT I THINK NEEDED TO BE SAID ON THE SUBJECT.

I DON’T AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENTS, AND I AM FINISHED WITH THIS CAPS ISSUE.

I DON'T SEE IT YOUR WAY, SO WE WILL JUST AGREE TO DISAGREE.

me thinks someone is being pedantic. stop throwing the dummy outta the buggy. People will always help others when they are asked nicely. Im irish as some of ye know and I have find some things funny that ye wouldnt. Luckily I have a few american friends that I used to jokes on before and they either slapped me or told me to fook off. So now I can be all nice and think about what Im going to say because Im just that kind of person.
