ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A NICE “SMALL” TOP-CASE THAT IS JUST BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD ONE FULL-FACE HELMET AND A PAIR OF GLOVES; APPROXIMATELY 14” LONG X 10” WIDE X 10” TALL?....
IN NEW OR USED CONDITION, THAT IS LOCKABLE, AND COULD BE PAINTED.....
THAT IS MADE OF RATHER STURDY MATERIAL, (I HAVE SEEN SOME LARGER ONES THAT WERE MADE OF VERY FLIMSY MATERIAL).....
WITH OR WITHOUT A BRAKE LIGHT OR REFLECTOR.....
ANY LINKS OR INFORMATION WILL BE HELPFUL.....
THANKS.....

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION.....
HOW DO YOU THINK THE TEXTURED OUTSIDE OF THIS CASE WOULD LOOK PAINTED?....
I WANTED TO TRY TO LOCATE A TOPCASE THAT HAS A PRETTY SMOOTH TEXTURE TO THE SURFACE.....
BUT I MAY HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THIS ONE.....
THANKS.....

Board RULES and Guidelines! PLEASE READ before posting!
We have a diverse, world-wide membership. Language skills vary.
Some members are writing in a second, or third language. There is also the presence of 'cultural' differences. Be patient, and considerate.
We're all here for the same reason...
If you read a message, and you're offended.....read it again! You may be mis-interpreting it.
IS THE ABOVE STATEMENT TRUE OR FALSE?....
YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT CAPS, YET THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER TYPED LETTER.....THEY ARE ALL ON THE SAME KEYBOARD.....
JUST BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE AN ASSUMPTION ABOUT THE MEANING OF CAPS, DOES NOT MAKE IT MY MEANING.....

The above quoted rule is true however, it is generally accepted worldwide 'Netiquette' to not type in all caps unless it is for special emphasis, like when you'd raise your voice. Therefore, typing with the Caps Lock on is like shouting your message.
Most will assume since you state you are from Maryland, that your culture is similar to the vast majority of the membership and English is not a second or third language for you. If using the shift key to capitalize in a normal typing manner is difficult or inconvenient for you, just type in all lower case, like Jay (GSXR400 racer) does since he was scolded for typing in all caps when he first started posting.
:bigok: :thanks:

Back to your original question though... check eBay - there's several different kinds of inexpensive top cases available there that attach to luggage racks similar to the way the JCW one does.

We now have a policy on the topic. Thanks for the idea. As you can tell by the reactions to your posts, the all caps approach is like nails on a chalkboard to many. You'll probably get better and more actual answers/responses if you make the effort type in a manner that's easier on the ol' eyes. Thanks, man.

Type "motorcycle hard case" at ebay and you'll see a series of options.
Oh, and stop using all CAPS... :wink:

BASED ON YOUR RESPONSE, YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BE CONFORMIST RATHER THAN INDIVIDUALS.....
I GUESS THE NEXT THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WILL BE USING BLACK TEXT INSTEAD OF BLUE.....

"Red01" Back to your original question though... check eBay - there's several different kinds of inexpensive top cases available there that attach to luggage racks similar to the way the JCW one does.
EBAY WAS THE FIRST PLACE THAT I CHECKED, AND ALL OF THEM WERE TOO BIG.....
THERE WAS A COUPLE THAT WERE ACTUALLY TOO SMALL.....
JUST MY LUCK.....
THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION.....

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.

It has nothing to do with conformity. :duh: It's about manners and ease of reading. We have a lot of knowledgeble peple on this board who take TONS (done for emphasis) time to answer questions and respond to posts. Why not show them some courtesy? :beers: :bigok: :banana: We're just trying to explain to you why people keep interrupting your posts by asking you to turn off the caps. That's all. :motorsmile: :wink:

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

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

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.

LOL, this good stuff.
Good stuff.
Sorry, hard to read?
GOOD STUFF.
I hate all you guys... :banana:

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.
