LIKE storm
« on: September 23, 2015, 12:12:33 AM »
Just after a big spring storm last year...




Boston Strong

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Nice pictures of the calm after the storm. That's a big top case. Do you find the scooter rides a bit top heavy when it's full? I ask because I'm considering a larger capacity top case.

It's a Bestem 929....and I hesitated buying one because of its size. Thought it was too big.
After looking at many hundreds of $ for a lighted case - with running lights and brake lighting - the Bestem came in the winnner at @$125.....and I think its lights are better than Givis and Shads, for 20% of their prices. (add the case, the special mount, the add-more lighting DIY packages - crazy. Some guys ride scoots that cost less.)
I only fill it for short hops home with groceries. For longer rides with clothing, light stuff - no problems with handling.
Love the lights for my dark morning work commutes and rain riding. Very good lights.
Have gotten used to the size. And it is hard-wired in - though you can fit plug-ins so you can remove it (lockable). I'm not ever going to Alaska on my LIKE200i, so I don't worry about leaving my stuff over night in the Motel 8 parking lot.
I did a DIY post some time ago.....

I like the case. Works well for me. Haul stuff to work every week in it. (lunch, coffee, boots, rain gear, library book, etc.) It is big. If Bestem made a 3/4 size lighted case I would have purchased it.
I used to carry enough tools and spare parts to build another LIKE, but I stopped doing that.
