Dude. You did a good job to me!! Pisses me off I wanted to do this, but just ordered a set of torque Moto bags for $180!!! I may be sending them back and doing this.
I thought of this Idea and thought I was the only one lol. Glad I found someone else that did it you gave me some good tips. I'm mounting some 20 mm ammo cans (the big ones) on the side of my overland camper that I'm building
Thanks for this vid! Did this for my bike easy. The only thing I did different was I used hook and loop fasteners on the handles to stop them from rattling when I ride so I could still use them when I detach the cans.
Good job. I added a 7.5 litre plastic ammo box to my Softail Slim (helped by the crossbar on the 'Hollywood' style bar). I could probably fit about fifteen 13oz beverage can and close the lid. It's strapped on with a tough elastic strap that I got from a hardware store. I neatly cut 2 vertical slots in the rear panel of the box for the strap to thread through. Not only do I have some useable storage, but it acts as a fairing, which makes riding at highway speeds easiier on my arms & hands. It doesn't score too well on appearance (looks like a hug black battery above the headlight), but the price, ease of fitment and practicality are what it's about. Cost was about $30US for the box & strap.
These would look nice on my ride. If you're worried about the handles rattling, but you wanted to retain them, you could wrap some rubber around the parts that contact each other.
i wish I didn't get conned into buying thrashin supply brackets, because their bags look like shit. I was told they were the only brackets my dealership could find for my 23 softail, which didnt make sense to me but I didn't question it because I have no knowledge about what brackets/bags go with what or why they're so model specific. I bought the brackets and I don't even think I'm gonna use them because this looks so much better, I'm just scared to do it myself cause I've never done any detailing or work like this on my own and I'm scared to butcher my new bike I just bought
If you decide to give it a try definitely just take your time and if you mess up, don’t get discouraged! Worst thing that happens is you mess up a cheap ammo can. The good thing about this setup is your actually not changing anything on the bike. More so making a bag system that bolts onto the bike!
Looks great man
Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Great step-by-step video! I am thinking of something similar for my scooter, using the luggage-rails for attachment.
One of the better Ammo Can motorcycle mount videos on TH-cam.

Thanks for the walk through.

ive done that with several bikes. best thing for securing goods on the go.
Muy buen video hice exactamente lo mismo pero las latas pesan mucho y con el tiempo se doblaran

Nice! That sounds like it’ll be awesome. They’re definitely really good for storage and they’re cheap!
This is a great DIY!!
Solid tutorial. Thank you man

Thank you!! They definitely came out better than expected!
