Tight. I've been hearing tales of the National Forest land having trails in it.

I added this to my rack for luggage! What do you think?

Also, I found the National Forest roads that are like a mile away from my house and they make for some great riding. I'm going to take more pictures out there some time next week probably.

Looks good!!I'd actually considered putting some of those on mine, but as saddlebags. However, the trunk I have on the back is big enough to carry anything that I need right now.

i like the ammo can, how did you mount it on there? how secure has it been? is it the waterproof kind?

also, i think you should paint it up to match the bike! that would look really sweet.

I recycled to mount it on there!

It just so happens that the packing steal that the bike came in worked out great. The small pieces that made a trianle in the corners (yeah I don't know how else to explain it) are about 6 inches long and have nuts welded onto them, and I had the bolts of course, so I just trilled holes in the bottom of the can, put it on the rack, put the steal strips up under the rack and bolted it down.

It is a waterproof can, but to be completely submerge-safe I need to put some rubber grommets on the holes I drilled for the bolts. But I think it will keep rain out fine the way it is. It fits everything I need to work on the bike, a can of chain lube and two quarts of oil! Or I could take it all out and it would fit all the clothes I need to take a trip.
