This video inspired me to make one for myself. I cook for a living and didn't want to be in a wreck with knives in a soft side pannier. While I can't lock it with my system, I did change it some. Ortlieb makes some of the best soft side panniers in the business and sells the mounting hardware via their website
Used steel machine nuts and bolts and a foam lined brief case from Harbor Freight. Thanks for the inspiration.
Update from the maker - These dry boxes held for the entire NYS Erie canal trail - and they are still like when I first made them. No easy ride. They do deliver a pounding to the gear inside as they are directly attached to the bike. Just need to pad the important stuff.
This is a great idea. This could be way to carry a laptop to work, just foam line the the inside. Maybe mount some wheels and a telescoping handle (from thriftstore suticase) and you could unfasten and roll into the office. The other mounting option you may have seen is skewering the boxes with two threaded rods so that they hang as a pair. disadvantage is you have to use them together. Great idea thanks!
I'm going to give this a try. I have no aptitude for DIY, but this looks simple enough that even I can attempt it. Thanks for posting.
