Ammo Can Panniers Project

IMO they don't look cheap, just rugged/enduro. Like you're riding out to alaska or something.

I was thinking about putting some on my ex, and maybe slap on a dirtbike front fender to complete the look. but opted to get cheap soft bags and leave it at that. Appartment life sucks, can't have much powertool fun anymore :(

I don't think they look cheap either but they'd look out of place/cheap on a new Ducati or bimmer.

I am set to do this to my little dr-350 now I just need to get the rack and then wait for a gun show to get the ammo cans. Having a hard time finding a rack for the dr but think this could be made to work.

Got my cans at armysurpluswarehouse.com

I mean to mention earlier, the main inspiration for these boxes was this video from the KLR650reviews guy. His video links to where to buy this particular pannier rack.

I also liked this guys 2 color scheme in black and yellow, I just did black and purple in stead.

And of course, there is halfthrottle, I love his videos. This video has some nice footage of a KLR with ammo cans

and this video is awesome even though there aren't ammo cans in it.

I've been getting questions about the ammo can beer capacity for use up at mid Ohio, this should answer your questions. Ali included a pic of the new big windshield the previous owner sent me.

You'll be beer (and booze) beeoch this year, fer sure!

Ill let others ride it, I don't need 60 beers to myself, between the klr and the yamahopper I don't think we'll go thirsty.

I'm debating if I should install cooler style drain valves.
