Agree on the color change comment, but I think you need to paint the tins to match the box. I can't see from that picture. Is there a matching box on the other side?

I was going to counterweight the other side with concrete in a more or less matching box since I don’t need any more storage space. But now I’m thinking I should put as much thought into this as I did with the right side box-I’m sure there’s something else I could do. And you guys are really making this paint decision tough.

That setup would look awesome with a good flame paint job, but you really need to be the same on both sides instead of just a counterweight. I do like the extra gas tank idea, you may need it when you have the box fullofshit.
