#457520 easyrider003 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 806 Ammo Boxes? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Since I turned my bike into a bobber, I have no saddlebags nor any way to install saddlebags. Most of the things that I would carry on a ride would be small. I am thinking of taking ammo boxes and somehow attaching one to each side of the swing arm and one in front of the oil filter. I really need one big enough to carry my Bible in to church. I was thinking of putting a spacer between a piece of flat metal, drilling a hole in the box and flat iron and running the bolt through the spacer so that the lid will have room to open. I guess my question is what is the biggest ammo box made vs what is the biggest ammo box that you think I can use to bolt onto the swing arm. I have very short exhaust that do not reach the swing arm so the exhaust would not be in the way.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #457521 Bushman52 (User) American by birth...Southern by the grace of God.

I don't know if you can find a 40mm grenade belt box.   Logged     \\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #457534 OK, just JB..

Ammo boxes would go great with a theme bike painted OD Green with the white star, and ammo boxes for the saddlebags. My roadie might be in for a new paintjob soon.....   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #457585 easyrider003 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 806 Re:Ammo Boxes? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I ordered 1 50 cal box. Should be here within 3-5 days, installed in about a week. Ill try to post pics when I get a chance. I am using the boxes as saddlebags. Hopefully they will also be big enough to somehow get 2 days worth of food in them. Maybe I will have to put food in ziplock bags to cut down on storage space. I work 48 hours on 24 hours off. Would it be in the way to have 1 box installed in front of oil filter. Don't want anything overheating.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #457658 Bushman52 (User) American by birth...Southern by the grace of God. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1777 Re:Ammo Boxes? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The thing about ammo boxes is if they are in good shape they are waterproof, air proof and dang near indestructable! and they will last forever.   Logged     \\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #457660 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1248 Re:Ammo Boxes? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   How about a set of swing arm saddle bags? http://compare.ebay.com/like/270658475840?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/02/07 13:00 By Doc_V.   “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #457694 slamllc (User) 102 Cubic inches of Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal! Senior Boarder Posts: 300 Re:Ammo Boxes? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I don't think I would use ammo cans. They are going to rattle like crazy especially with stuff in them. That would drive me nuts. Not to mention mounting them to the swing arm where they are going to take every bump unsprung. I don't know what your bike looks like, but I have a tunnel bag that fits on the back fender or seat and holds plenty of stuff. Can be detached quickly if need be and worn as a backpack. I will try to post a picture or link.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #457698 slamllc (User) 102 Cubic inches of Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal!
