Default Saddle Cans etc.

Well Thanks to a few folks here with their help on some various projects,
JMPancoast for the Turn Signals and License Plate relocation, Mud and JRK for their help on my Saddle Can Project.

Here are a few photos, many of the initial photos from Mud are in the less than $50 thread.
Look from post 1349 on for background info.

I think that the backrest and cans look better together than either do by themselves alone.

Now I need to decide whether to paint the cans OD Green, Silver like the bike, flat Black or use this Metallic Graphite paint that has a lot of flake to it.
I used it for the shadow on my crosses and I like it a lot.

Decisions...

So Y'all what do you think of the cans?


Editing to add; also need to figure out a way to get the cans to sit closer to the bike.

I have been considering doing this myself for the last several weeks! You beat me to it. Looks good. Personally, I'd go flat black. I wouldn't do OD unless you are doing the rest of the bike the same or black.

Looks really good, that's pretty much the direction I was looking to go this winter. My vote is for black for the cans.
