I like the one where the guy just made a handle on the existing charger. It's not much bigger than those pelican case conversations and you still have the handy lid/flap to hide all the cables. Plus the aluminum body looks pretty cool. I'm going to experiment with that.

I think it's much heavier that way, but still a big improvement.

I am an old Alta guy. Trust me. I do not like dangling cables. I do not like heavy and angular aluminum boxes. The H-F 3800 case is the best. It is the smallest, very light, and has all the cables inside. Waterproof and dust-free when closed. Perfectly cooled when you run it fully open, which you should. If I find a better option, I will let you know.

Hey all! I wanted to share what I ended up coming up with... I found there weren't many options available to make the Stark charger more portable that also looked like it was done intentionally rather than an afterthought, so I made my own. I started with 3D printing a deck plate for an Apache 3800 case to test fitment, then had the parts laser-cut by SendCutSend out of 1/8" (3.2mm) 6061 T6 aluminum.

I've done a couple of batches so far - the first batch was 5 total (including one for me), and it went over well enough that I did a second batch of 11. I've mostly stuck to the Facebook groups to sell them, but if there's interest here, I may consider a third batch! I put these together as a kit, which includes the Apache 3800 case (easier for shipping), the deck plate, pre-installed TPU feet on the case itself, the wire tray bumper, a charge cable guide (attaches to one of the charger standoffs), the cubby, cubby lid, and mounting hardware (pre-installed as well). Total cost for the last batch was $160 per kit, shipped to the lower-48 in the US, and is probably where I would land for any future batches as well.

You would need to pull your original charger out of the bike stand, just for record - there is no charger or cables included (this should be obvious, but I wanted to clarify).
