carrying tablet on sv
 

I need to carry my hp tablet on my sv , therefore looks like I need to buy a topbox , I know they look c##p , however need a secure / waterproof transport method . Have carried tablet in my rucksack but not happy carrying it for safety reasons , don't fancy a broken tablet stuck in my back.

Found a ebay shop from CMS Motorcycles all in for 139+10p+p as per link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/givi-luggage-t...tcZphotoQQcmdZ

Tablet is 28.5 x 23.5 cm will fit in a 34 l box ?

Any one used CMS on ebay before ?

Cheers Steve

Black plastic bag and a bungee net IMO. Cost £5.

Re: carrying tablet on sv
 

Are you going to put the tablet in a bag before you stick it in the top box?

Re: carrying tablet on sv
 

Will put tablet in a case , Bath re black bags & bungee , not sure I'd be that popular if I lost a 1500 quid tablet .

Hi, Steveg,

I've never used CMS on ebay but I've been to their "real" shop in Pinhoe, Exeter, fairly frequently and always been treated well and got as good a deal as I could wish for.
I've bought helmets, visors, gloves, boots, Oxford soft panniers, tank bag, tyres, cables, chain, locks, oils, etc etc and not had any hassle.
Indeed, when I bought the "wrong" chain to get a reduction in my insurance they were very understanding and sorted my mistake out immediately.

HTH
Cheers

I used their ebay shop to buy a givi top box and i it was fine - arrived very quickly and price was very good.

I got a bigger one than the one in your pic - i think its 45 litres, and it really is huge. On my commute to work it easily holds a suit, shirt, tie, shoes, towel and toiletries, all in a suit holder / weekend bag type thing. It would easily take a laptop as well but probably not in a carry case.

I take my laptop in a tank bag. You can get some quite smart tank bags that do not look out of place as a laptop carry case in the office.

Hope that help.

I use a rucksack and put my laptop into a Canoe sack that I got from millets for about a tenner. The canoe sack is guaranteed waterproof, and my rucksack is big enough for my office kit including laptop and waterproofs for the inevitable break in the weather.

IMHO a top box is overkill because of the cost - unless of course you're ok with the cost side of things.

Nugget me - I withdraw the above because I can't read.........

I've come to my senses , I'll put case in a black bag & bungee it to rear seat , its not my tablet .....
