- No matter what motorcycle you’ve got, there’s a way to rig up some saddle bags. The ammo can method is a cheap way to build a safe, sealed and secure storage solution. 44’s had enough of his superiors pilfering his powdered possessions, so he’s doing a weld-free installation on the VanVan. Special thanks to our friends and neighbors at Cream Pony in North Vancouver!

Not one word spoken, yet so much communicated. This channel oozes artistic vision and value for those looking for a quick video to snack on.
Absolutely goated..
There is a fine line between artistic and absurd and I think FortNine is pretty close to crossing that line. The videos seem to be evolving from practical to just plain goofy, which is OK if your goal is entertainment rather than information.
that's what i mean "International"
Tone it down with the wannabe Rotten Tomatoes critic's tone. It's cringe.
@LTVoyager: Some channels would have made a tedious half hour vid on converting those ammo boxes. This conveys enough inspiration in a few minutes for any DIYer to make something similar,,, all the while raising a smile with their donutty antics.
Almost speechless with the creativity, humour, filming, editing. Genius.
They were completely speechless, actually.
WAS THAT A FUCKING PERFECTLY-EXECUTED FOCUS PULL IN A TH-cam VIDEO?!
Doesn't take much for you does it.
@@hoilst265 Get over it.
Almost
I love the way this channel has evolved. the new guy is a great addition, always looking forward to every new video.
Hey! He has a name y'know... 44 😂
@@JammNickkthe names 44, agent 44
I bet a lot of people now liking him, where attacking him when the first videos came out.
@@GoalSquad666I was astounded to see how many people were being rude regarding 44 in the comments. It's like they thought 44 killed Ryan and wore his skin.
@@Fantasticanations that *could* be a great idea for a bit though, hmm
For all the sleekness of modern bikes, there's something to be said about older bikes (and cars for that matter) that just have random bolt points available all over the place. So useful.
Yes! If it's gonna look and feel old, it should be so as a whole.
Ryan and 44, you're killing it. This is everything: the focus shifts, the split screens, the finger swipe at 1:35 perfectly in sync with the music. How can a short instructional feel like a music video, an 80s montage and a feature film all at once. HOW?!?
Whoever is in charge of the music selection deserves a raise. Always fantastic.
anyone know what the donut song is starting at 1:00?

@@DrakenMusic Thanks so much!
@@callisquirrel9622I feel like my comment is a bit overlooked...
44 was such a great add to this channel 😆. And the production quality? Freakin amazing as always!❤
What's 44's name love to give a proper shout out😄
43 was good too. Too bad he wasn't good at anodizing. RIP 43. Long live 44.
A nice and crisp story, incredible cinematography and these awesome fabrication sequences. Thanks guys 🙌 couldn't have asked for more.
Incredible cinematography? Really?
@@dznnf7 What a hater... It is an Incredible cinematography for a low budget TH-cam channel! What did you expect? The new Oppenheimer?
The Ryan vs 44 battle is epic, love it!
Thanks for the 5 minute break from work! Amazing video, as always.
As someone that works in the film industry, that's some quality storytelling! And on top of that it manages to be an instrudtion manual for making an awesome set of panniers? What more can you ask? Nicely done!
And the color palette!
Literally every step in making some ammo canniers and why you shouldn't leave your keys on your bike in under five minutes.
I’ve watched other channels that add a new character into the mix, and it usually degrades the experience for me. I understand it makes it easier for the production team and the channel, but the reason I started watching those channels in the first place was because I loved the character, and the atmosphere. 44 is one of the rare editions that only adds to the viewing experience, and solidifies in my mind the fact that this channel knows what it’s doing. I applaud the production team for the marvelous work that they continually provide for my viewing pleasure.
I work in holywood and i have to say the cinematography in these videos is nothing short of masterfull.
The roles are also played so well.
I'd realy like to know who the mastermind behind all of it is.
Perfect and reliable in the post apocalypse.
Multi people are nuts and brilliant and thinking outside the box bravo to you too.
@@cowmath77 damn bro. Thats brilliant.
Nicely done, 44. Really love his addition to the channel!
Ever since I heard of this channel some 3-4 years ago, it has yet to disappoint. When they said it was probably the best motorcycling channel out there by one of the most reputable reviewers out there I understood that I had been missing out. Being disabled now for over 10 years, with the only thing I watch regularly being MotoGP tough less since Rossi stopped racing, this is such a breath of fresh air. Love and God bless from a previous MC mechanic(in my youth) from equally winter un-ridable Norway....
44 is easily one of the best comedic actors I've seen. Such expression.
You mean for a Clone, right?
I'm widely impressed how easy that was as an idea I had a while ago but never amount to do anything because the indicators were in the way and I thought for fork sacks BUT THE DREAM IS ALIVE AGAIN
Wow this takes me back to some of the old cartoons I grew with. No words spoken with some of them. Wild E. Coyote and Tom & Jerry especially.
If only Ryan knew that just hitting a masterlock with another masterlock will open one......
So fun.... and so well done!
Perfect timing. Finished work on a Friday, and got notified of a new video from F9 👌
More proof FortNine is the most innovative channels on TH-cam - and it's yet another reason Canada is the best place to live, full of even more wonderful people like the FortNine bunch!
Your uploads never feel like TH-cam videos, they are like short films. Amazing !
Edit : It has always given me those Wes Anderson vibes, so good quality.
I was worried the channel was going to suffer from the recent changes but how completely wrong I was. 44 is a great asset to the team and the videos just keep getting better and better.
The F9 content just keeps getting better.
I'll admit to feeling a bit disappointed when it seemed there'd be a new face around as Ryan devoted time to other things. Now I'm a big 44 fan too.
Thanks for all the great work F9 team!
These silent build videos are top notch. amazing how much can be done and shown with no descriptions.
It's an epic battle between a man of skill, ingenuity, determination...
...and Ryan.
The best Cream Pony ad I've ever seen! 😅
Well done guys. Loved it.
To the cinema nerd who set up the beautiful cafe shots and the stellar color grade... we see you. Great work!
I cannot praise the brilliance enough. I simply cannot believe how adding 44 (and counting) made F9 even better. ❤
You guys are ridiculously good at what you do. So many tricks and ideas packed into an entertaining video.
I suddenly want donuts! The DIY panniers are cool too. Signal lights are a nice touch.
A few years ago I met a couple of Marine vets returning from a veterans motorcycle rally, one of whom had mounted 50 cal ammo cans as panniers to his Harley. Totally sanitary installation, plus the period correct considering the provenance of the rider.
Thinking outside the box, simple solution, and presented in a clear artistic way. I like the voiceless 44 as his actions are communicated wonderfully clear, though all of this for Donuts was a kind of ridiculous, but that was the humor of it. I would give you three thumbs up, but I am blessed by birth with only two… and since this episode spoke to the members of this channel so loudly I made up a new word just for FortNine: “FortNinetissimo”… lol
Ok. That was awesome! Who else didn't see that ending coming?
Bravo!
Also, could Ryan please consider making a science brainy video on airing down tires for off roading? There is such a hot debate on that. Anyone else want to see Ryan give the final word on this?
I've never once hear It debated. You air down to keep from getting flats and for better traction. Heck the offroad guys in trucks and jeeps do it too.
Since when has this ever been debated?
Amazing, just what my Friday afternoon needed. Thanks guys!
LOL the keys being chucked at the end was classic.
44’s face after Ryan chucked his key was priceless!
Genius. Love the detail yet drama of this one. More DIYs for us frugal few!
I just attached 20mm ammo cans onto my crf300l as diy panniers and they work great. They are larger them 50 cal cans and are about the same size of tusk aluminum panniers for a third of the price. I think I will do the cable lock like he did, seems to be a much better locking system.
I mounted 40mm cans to my Duke 390 and they work fantastic. $20 each!
I just mounted a 50mm gun and haven't had many issues since.
I mounted 30mm cans to my vstrom. I saved money by making the rack for them as well. I can't believe what they sell those aluminum ones for. I did order ammo can locks off Amazon tho. You can easily clip that cable with a leatherman
Another simpler latch lock.
Drill a hole into the box at the center of the hole in the latch. Put a bolt through the hole from the inside and nut it down. Drill a hole through the end of the bolt for the pad lock.
This would work better on a latch with a much smaller hole in it though.
@@bloodbushcraft2467 well, maybe not a Leatherman, but it will definitely stop a normal criminal from getting in. Any really determined criminal will get in to any lock but if it stops 9 out of 10, thats a good lock.
You guys are constantly changing up your style and never miss. Don't change your ever-changing ways and keep knocking em out of the park.
This is how you shot a fabrication montage! Show the idea (the finished blinkers / the threaded upper mont) and then how you get there. The scenes are not in cronological, but in logical order. Storytelling without need of explanation. Top job again, 44.
I put 60mm Mortar cans on my KLR, amazingly useful but they weighed down that bike. The performance was a drastic difference when they were on and off.
Harbor Freight carries ammo cans of different sizes in metal and much lighter plastic. Both are cheap as dirt. Between the $50 pannier racks and $24 for two, heavy duty .50 cal, watertight metal ammo cans, I'm happy to once again "beat the system," cheap man that I am. I think, like highway crash bars on a cruiser, they may very very save a leg or exhaust some day. Bought a smaller pair of .32 cal cans for the front panniers on the front of my RE Himalayan. I think they may also save a leg, light, gad tank, etc, if I ever go down. Plus, the Army Green color looks awesome, IMO, with the camoflauge "Pine Green" color on the bike.
I put the Princess Auto (aka Canadian Harbor Freight) Pelican knockoffs on my KLR. Mucho lighter. I have real Pelicans on my WeeStrom and boy have they been crash tested. The Pelicans survived to bend the racks they're hanging off of.
Who's got 120mm mortars?
@@munk_ken NOT U.S.! WE'VE SENT ALL OF OUR MORTARS TO UKRAINE!
I also added a set of 60mm grenade round cans from Princess Auto to my KLX (Just like to add that Princess Auto is also a terrible store compared to Harbor Freight). They're too heavy for offroad. They'll shake the racks right off the bike. But they're great for commuting and running around town. On and off in under a minute for when the offroad mood strikes.
The quality of your videos always amazes me
Yeah every video a masterpiece
Those are awesome panniers! The American expression "Give 'em the whole nine yards" comes from ammo boxes: if you'd remove the original belted ammo and laid it out, the length of that belt is nine yards. Ammo boxes on a vehicle hide a lethal secret if you store actual ammo in them for a very long time: The gunpowder in each bullet is made of super stable nitro cellulose, shaped into little grains or tiny flakes. Driving over bumps shakes the gunpowder around inside the casing, and over time can turn it into powder. Nitro cellulose in powdered form has a dramatic increase in burn rate, instantly transforming your rifle into a pipe bomb that you are holding next to your face.
Use the shock absorbing cargo carrier intended for Honda Super Cubs, instead?
Grew up with that same rv125. 4 low and 4 high gears. The miles we put on that thing fishing all over VI. At one point I would sit on the front, dad in the middle, and my brother on the back. I held the rods and my brother the tackle box and creel basket. What a time.
Hope to see more videos like this from you guys. So much entertainment on a simple, yet effective DIY tutorial
Smiling ear-to-ear, and thinking about donuts! At least several dozen ideas, including donut and fabrication, in the course of 4 and a half minutes! Thank you! BTW, Harbor Freight carries .32 and .50 cal sized, watertight, metal ammo cans for lame guys like me that have never come across the real things. I bought mine for around $12/ea after seeing a TH-camr post a video of one submerged in his bathtub with a light and camera inside! Sold! Should look good on my camouflage "Pine Green" RE Himalayan, if I ever stop riding it long enough to install my $12 cans. Gotta take advantage of Royal Enfield's 3-year unlimited mileage warranty!
In Canada, you can pick up 50 cal cans for under $25 at princess auto.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The final expression on 44s face as the keys disappeared was priceless, LMAO.
Cream Pony - excellent source of fried deliciousness to place in one's newly-minted ammo can panniers.
Another quality addition to an excellent channel. Well done, chaps! 😊
Great video without one word.
Bravo!
I love the callback to Cream Pony from 44’s navigation video.
I didn’t even realize there wasn’t a word spoken until I came to the comments. It was like, wait…what, oh? Oh ya! The entertainment value was so high I didn’t even notice. What a great video, thanks fellas!
I once drilled my own Bulgarian's 7.62 boxes for panniers on the old KX125. One of them was cheesed the heck out due to my amature drilling.
Next day I drilled and mounted a Lock & Lock aluminum lunch box, solved that BS and called it a day. The OG Soviet era ammo box gave up 6 years later, L&L still there.
0:38 Mate !!! Do you drink it with or without sugar? Greetings from Argentina!
As always you guys deliver absolutely high end contend. This is what cinographic perfection looks like.
By god, I'm grateful you guys exist.
I’m trading in my Harley Sportster 1200 for a Honda CB500F. I pick it up tomorrow! 😁
Careful with that extra power 😅
@@flexywing I wasn’t really looking for power, mainly lighter weight, better handling/flickability, better riding position, etc.
My Sportster was highly customized, had 12 inch t bars on it, heavy, and just plain boring to ride.
a huge improvement
@ I test rode it on Tuesday, I was grinning the whole time I was on it 😁
@@OneFreeMan17 These are great bikes, and can do everything, I have toured around France and Spain on one, can hold its on motorways and is great fun on the twisties, and just kilss town work. Plus does it with 60 + mpg. Have fun
Have been using ammo cans on a few bikes,robust enough to act as crash bars😅
The side of the can will split as it work hardens taking out a neat ring of metal the same size as the repair washer within a few weeks. You need to put a piece of plywood down the whole side you're attaching them to on the inside and bolt through it if you want to use ammo cans as panniers.
I love that you've still got the Honda Ascot kickin around
The cinematography of this channel never disappoints
When is the RyanF9 and Mechanic44 onlyfans dropping?
As others said already, it's brilliant. The music choice is top notch too, mostly gets overlooked, but a really important part of it.
A true craftsman with bandages on fingers and blood blister under nails. A few cuts and scapes icing on the cake. Great idea! Thx
Very nice 44!
Maple eh.
Cracked me up! Almost had me ded at Ryan's key toss/silent rage.
They got back from the long slump, now I enjoy all new vids again. Keep up the good work!
AND if you haven't been to Creme Pony for a Donut, OMFG you are missing out!!! they freaking rock!! And taste out of this world. Gourmet donuts that will delight the senses. North Vancouver BC
I have a 14 versys 650 that the previous owner put 20mm ammo cans on. Looks weird but they work fantastic and they hold SO MUCH STUFF! I pack it out like a rented mule!

Oh, so THAT'S how you're supposed to secure those wire-connector things!
My dad and I would always just strip the wires a bit more and twist them together
I always twist>solder>heat shrink.
twist-solder-heat shrink is definitely the longest lasting solution. But those solder-seal wire connectors are not far behind and sooooo convenient. ~RF9
I have a 2017 Triumph Street Scrambler with the rack on the left for a fancy leather Triumph pannier .. I took the leather thing off and made a wooden box with a top load hinge that can flip open leaving an open top .This means in nice weather I can cary my 5 string banjo with me and when it is cold or rainy more layers and a rain suit fit in it safe all closed up :) . Being an older guy who got his A licence in Wales back in 1970 I have put a GB sticker on the box (a gift from my coworkers when I got the A level) and a RAF Rondel from WW2 . The box is also green :) .Being in New England people are intrigued with the set up and ask lots of questions ... I bet I could cary 2 dozen donuts in the thing .. No lock Ryan :)
I normally don't watch videos in full screen, but I have to for this channel since they are so well done. A lot of people get upset when another personality is brought onto a channel, but I think the F9 community has embraced 43, scratch that, 44.
Great job!
With how rebellious he's getting, I'm afraid 45 is around the corner...
Brilliant stuff. And I love the hints to bicycling scattered throughout. Nice work team!
I love how you chose to ride from the office to cream pony instead of walking. That’s a true rider right there! 😂
I was looking for this comment. I laughed when I saw how close it was. I did stop in there today. Pretty tasty donuts.
@@599Honda I haven’t been there yet myself, but I’ve heard good things from my friend that lives a couple blocks away from there
Great team you guys! You made something very amazing.
Beautiful balance between, suspense, humor, detail, asterisks. You took your typical attention to detail to another level. So clear, so creative, so easy to watch, very intelligent.
You created the most unique canal for the community. Yes! For all of us that ride, fix, buy, talk, or dream about riding, owning, traveling on a motorcycle.
Also Great the short videos.
Amazing work.
Good luck,
Best wishes.
What a blast.
I am always eager for your videos.
Love this channel, the quality off of a video where no one speaks about a disgruntled employee trying to enjoy a donut. Yet when I was watching I never wondered how long the video was.
🤣🤣🤣... Fortnine always find a way to drop the most elegant entertaining motorcycle content of all time.
I can't believe I've only recently found this channel. Guess I have to go back and watch their entire archive of videos now! :)
Loving the FortNine cinematic univese!
A love letter from a man to his donuts.
No words. Just actions that promise yo keep them comfortable and safe.
Beautiful
I have no words for how amazing these videos truly are
This is the best channel ever!!!!!
Every single thing is so artistically put together and communicated properly, words or no words.
The sound of that 2-stroke……..such memories!
Honestly this channel is pure gold
Can never get enough of this channel
I just added one of these to my bike a couple weeks ago. It sits on top of my little luggage rack and just has a couple of U bolts that come up into the bottom of the box and wrap around the luggage rack bars. Bolted from the inside, with a locking mechanism on the outside. I love it!
Ryan tossing the key at the end was perfect.
The focus pulls in the beginning are perfect. Nice work!
I'm doing something very similar, adding two large 20mm ammo cans (each large enough for 1500 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition) to the headache rack on my 4WD Hijet Japanese mini truck to use as tool boxes. I'm adding remote keyless entry to the little truck so the tool boxes will lock and unlock with the driver and passenger doors.
Gold boys, very impressed with the cinematography and creativeness. Best of the best TH-cam has to offer. Keep it coming!
The production quality on this channel is crazy.
Another masterpiece. Well done to the whole team... and please keep them coming!
Love it ! You guys have some of the best motorbike related content on all of youtube !
Finally! I've been wanting to add boxes to my 75 tc185 for awhile now, and the van van has the exact same rear lights and rack setup. I'm going to attempt to make this exact setup, wish me luck! I might use 50 cal boxes though, and add mounts for some gas cans.
Hey 44, I met your Mom this weekend. No joke! She was out camping. Super cool woman. Turns out we live in the same town.
This isn't just some of the best motorcycle content on the web, it's flat out some of the best content on the web..
been thinking about doing a similar thing with some spare cans I have but mounted to a 650 nighthawk instead. thanks for making this video as this is my sign to do just that.
