Ammo Can Saddlebags for ANY Motorcycle on a BUDGET!

If you need an affordable way to add some cool storage to your motorcycle, this is the video for you! This design can be duplicated on any motorcycle and it was super easy and didnt require too many tools. I had so much fun making these and it was super rewarding to be able to put something together that works so well for such a small amount of money. Originally I was trying to do this for less than $100, I blew that goal out of the water and was able to put it all together for around $60!

Great step-by-step video! I am thinking of something similar for my scooter, using the luggage-rails for attachment.

Thinking about putting some 30 cal cans on the side of my minibike. Kinda takes the fun out of it when you cut off all the ammo can accents. I would weld down anything you don't want to rattle prior to paint if you want to keep the look without the rattle. Great video and thanks.

One of the better Ammo Can motorcycle mount videos on KZbin.

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

Nice! That sounds like it’ll be awesome. They’re definitely really good for storage and they’re cheap!

[@matthewbeaver5026]

Gonna have to find mil surp cans. I didn't think about the rattle. But I gotta leave the wire on for locks. Thanks for the walk through.

[@AgrippaKCsGunTime]

ive done that with several bikes. best thing for securing goods on the go.

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.

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.

[@bobbypulgarin8396]

Those came out clean!

[@cris_rides2104]

most definitely!

[@Oddman1980]

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.

[@reyesjavi]

This is a great DIY!!

[@RetrowTV]

Ammo cans just so dang useful! Good stuff man. Got a whole series on Bikin on a Budget on our channel you might enjoy!

[@space0man0spiff]

Absolutely love this! So easy and cheap! And they look awesome!

[@cris_rides2104]

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

[@JeffA2wheeladdiction]

Great video, keep up the great work 👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻

[@slickmove7908]

I might real need to do this to B.O.B. The bobber… STWSY

[@cris_rides2104]

Do itttt!!!

[@sabre21c]

Alway good to have extra storage and you did it right 👍🏻

[@cris_rides2104]

Absolutely!! Glad you liked it!

[@Alexlol15]

Great video

[@MynorP]

Muy buen video hice exactamente lo mismo pero las latas pesan mucho y con el tiempo se doblaran

[@Dr.PhilGood78]

I watched a video that a guy lined his with foam on the bottom and i want to say tool box liner on the walls and lid.

[@aguybored3905]

What paint did you use?

[@Spaghettiest]

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

[@cris_rides2104]

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!

Bad ass
