To anyone interested, I just posted 5 pictures in the "Photos" area, called: attaching Kolpin gun case to KLR and shows how I attached the "Kolpin Gun Boot" to my KLR. I used one U-bolt (about 1 1/2" W x 3 1/2"L x 5/16" complete w/ lock nuts) around part of the left-side passenger grab rail (where it descends toward the rear axle) cushioned w/ two pieces of closed-cell foam, and shimmed w/ three pieces of 3/8" plywood, and then secured it to the folded left passenger foot-peg w/ a large radiator clamp to secure it AND keep the toe of the case away from the swingarm. I haven't tried it w/ a gun and dirt roads yet, but it seems pretty secure when I 'yank' on it. Cheers, Ed

NICE!!!! i've been considering that very thing. i do a lot of range time and prefer to take the klr due to the distance. i use a sniper drag bag with shoulder straps now but have been looking into installing a "spine" from which the bag will attach to the rear rack. when i get it done i'll post. great mod man! --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "fasteddiecopeman" wrote:

Do you ever notice if you're treated differently on the road when carrying the gun case?

you would think living in Houston area that i would not. but the truth is i do. people don't tail gate at all which is a huge problem here, especially at stop lights. and i do get a lot of double takes which i like to believe is due to my good looks. ) i'm sure due to all of the racks on my bike and a fairly large sand camo gun case i look like the road warrior going down the road. all i need now is a cut down double barrel shot gun in a slip case across my handlebars to complete my image. ) --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Chris Norloff" wrote:

I bought an AK47 up at a gun shop outside of Greenville, Texas. I tied it to my back seat with the bayonet extended and not in any kind of case, just for grins, and drove home through a couple of rough little towns between work and home. Not a single double take. ----- Original Message ---- From: Darren To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 8:30:16 AM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: attaching Kolpin gun case to KLR you would think living in Houston area that i would not. but the truth is i do. people don't tail gate at all which is a huge problem here, especially at stop lights. and i do get a lot of double takes which i like to believe is due to my good looks. ) i'm sure due to all of the racks on my bike and a fairly large sand camo gun case i look like the road warrior going down the road. all i need now is a cut down double barrel shot gun in a slip case across my handlebars to complete my image. ) --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogro ups.com, "Chris Norloff" wrote:

I should think that if anyone were impressed enough to treat you differently, their reaction might be to put you in the ditch by way of preemption. "Dangerous character" or "Law- abiding citizen"? I would assume the latter, but ya never know. ;-{>

Paper gods corrupt and consume a man's soul, not uplift and restore it. When the guys fixing the mess are the same guys who created it, I'd say get ready for a bigger mess. R
