A good start for cheap side cases

If that link works, it looks promising.  I recently ordered some zero racks to the tune of $400.  I don't think they've shipped out yet, so I think I'll see about canceling that order.  Seems I (or a proper fabricator) could create the proper mounting arms and have a really reasonably priced set of side cases. The cooler stuff all requires "cam" style mounts instead of the older 3 point system. (Which no one offers for th Zero as far as I know)

Did you see the $110 shipping?  Makes these over $400 before you maybe get some fabrication that fits properly.  They may be tougher cases but they will cost more.

Well that $400 to Zero is just racks.. No cases. Cases range from $200-$1000 depending on what you want. (Plastic/metal small/large)

Oh wow I didn't check the Zero site for prices.  Never mind I thought the $400 was for everything.  I got the soft bags from a dealer that was going out of business for about $100 I rarely use them but nice to have if needed.  Well on a side note with your charging while driving issue here is an option to maybe be of some help.

I don't really think it would be a good idea but in theory would work.  :)
