Default Home made bags for the Bones
Couldn't find the bags I wanted for the money I wanted to spend, so I started to thinking. What did I have that could do for now. Had an old large ruck and decided that could do. Took about and hour to rig it up, now I love it. Holds more that any saddle bag I've seen! I know it's not for everyone, but I dig it. Thought someone else might dig it too. Ride safe.

Ya know.... That don't look bad at all.... Kinda gives it a bit of a rough edge... Nice idea! Just watch the straps flyin loose near the wheel, hate to see somethin get tangled and suddenly start yankin hard!

That looks good. I have seen ammo cans before but not a actual ruck sac. Now if you could some how put one on the other side.

No, I changed up numbers. I thought the same thing after I mounted it, so out came the black marker!
