I have a friend in Dubuque that goes to something called zombie shoots, and he invited me to come down next year to join him. I want to take my motorbike so we can go on some ride while I'm down there as southwest Wisconsin has nothing but good twisty roads. I decided to mount a case so I can have the best of both worlds.

I'm having trouble uploading the pictures though as the site keeps saying the files are too large. (little help please)

photo edit and make them smaller, or upload them to someplace like photobucket and use those links

If you have windows picture manager on your machine, open in that, then go to "picture" in toolbar and use "compress picture" (web pages) option to get below the dreaded 107 kb limit

That's great! I've been thinking about trying to mount my ammo box and gun case as well for my range outings. Right now I can only manage to shoot my pistols when on my 1125r.

I've tried my AR-15 while riding on the back of a ATV.

Tough shooting from a moving vehicle.

@Sprintst haha Yeah, I may have phrased that a little wrong. but not saying I wouldn't try it if my range allowed it.

When I clicked on this thread I thought "man this is going to be some jerk talking about how he rode his bike to the gun range, big deal"
I was wrong. This rules
Awesome pictures! Looks really bad ass!

Next someone needs to mount some chainsaws to the front and the zombie killer bike will be complete. Thats cool looking, very futuristic styling.

Any chance we could get some better pics of the mounts? I have always dreamed of this.
