Notebook computer case for FJR side bag(s)

[Rogue]

I have a case made of foam... same stuff they make wetsuits from.... but, dont' know if they still make them, it's acouple of years old.... mary

I got a little laptop at Fry's for under $400 to carry on the FJR and found one of those foam cases at Best Buy.

I don't keep my hard bags on the bike, but I do carry a laptop to work. I bought a trashed hard bag that still had the mounting points intact. I cut unnecassary parts off and grafted a laptop case to it. Its nice and narrow, goes on and off in seconds. I just carry the whole thing in. when I get to my destination.

Case Logic has some awesome little cases. I have the smallest Dell available (which I bought simultaneously to the FJR for convenience) and I bought their neoprene case that is just smaller than what they recommend and it is perfect. It's Cerulean Silver. When I want to carry my 17" HP, I use the Back pack but have been considering strapping the pack to the back seat with bungies.

Try this sight for laptop tank bags, its seems a good solution.

Hmmm... This sounds like something that I would be very interested in doing. Great idea RM! Just have to paint it blue, because blue is the fastest color, even for RAM.

I have a Dell Inspiron 700m. It is the "traveler" that started it all for Dell. I too found that most bags are too large for the thing. I do have a bag, unfortunately I do not have it with me at the momoent so I can't give you a brand, but it is a simple bag with one pocket designed to fit an older non-widescreen laptop and it fits my computer perfectly side to side and only leaves room at the back of the laptop, which is fine as I have an extended battery that protrudes and I don't have to worry about it.

When I have taken my computer with me (i.e. when I was still in college) I just used a laptop back pack as others have mentioned. I used a targus bag that cost me about $50 at Office Max and was nice because it had a strap around the waist with a clasp in front to keep the bag from bouncing.

I have also seen at sportbikeluggage.com a tank bag that is specific for a laptop and even locks! I have been looking at these bags as they attach via the bolts for the gas cap and don't come in contact with the paint anywhere.

Shinza Zero Shock Case. Had my IBM ThinkPad in a Shinza in the side bag when I laid it down. Computer good, side bag not.
