    jerry can saddle bags

    gday was going to buy some saddle bags off ebay for my bike but found these at the back of my shed.
    I cut about 5 inches out of the middle, hinged the top,had some flat aluminium with an edge on one side ran that around the lid a bit of rubber around the top of the bottom half for a bit of weatherproofing,added clasp and staple to lock the box and some cheap black gloss spray paint.
    took around 2 and half hours including trip to hardware store and painting cost $23.00 will do for now cheers

            Pretty sweet setup! The only downside is you lost two wehrmacht gas cans. I love mine. Light years ahead of the US made ones.
