It is actually my issued badge number at work, Arabic numerals not Roman. They are assigned consecutively as we get hired and that became my number. It's all over my gear and yes, my badge too.

Wow, thats some freaky stuff right there. Those numbers would worry me a bit if I was in a life threatening employment position. Kudo's to you sir. That being said, they may be Arabic, but they are also taditional Roman numerals.

I googled it and found this little tidbit as well:
The Roman numeral for 666, DCLXVI, has exactly one occurrence of all symbols whose value is less than 1000 (D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1).

Its got a hard back that makes that possible. Great for tools/phone and whatever. Probably look good with any color bike. The ammo box was a couple shades different and had yellow lettering which didnt look too good with my colors so i repainted it. The box is just sitting on the swingarm in the pic. I'm welding mounts for it tomorrow.

At first I thought it might be a little too gimmicky but not at all green-n-mean. A very cool bike. Can we get some full view pics when you finish the mods? Awesome work!

The ammo can pics that green guy posted made me think of them. But really, I only posted for a laugh.

I know, my pic with the water cans was for laughs too but you never know.....never expected anybody to make ammo boxes work on the side of a bike.
