What size cans did you use to make these bags? I have an ample supply to choose from, I just want to make sure I am able to pick the right ones the first time.

I recently bought a couple of ammo boxes. I'm not a welder/fitter, but I work at an oil refinery and know just about every welder on site.

I was hoping you had some measurements for your mounting bracket and a list of materials you used.

Did you install your rear turn signals inside the boxes? And if so, where did you get them?

I'm trying to do things cheaply, but yet I want quality. Quick detach mounting hardware keeps calling my name. The whole point of doing the ammo boxes, though, was so that I didn't spend any more money on the bike.

OP, dig the cans. Being an ordie, I appreciate them.

I think they are really outstanding. The only problem I see is those locks are going to rattle. Maybe the handles too. Great work!
