Al That is so Cool !!!

I like those bags but ::: That Ammo can is a real idea !

I agree, the ammo cans would look cool. I wasn't gonna put the hard bags back on but my turn signals are mounted to the bags and I didn't feel like messing with new turn signals so the bags went back on. Maybe I'll look for some ammo cans,

It travels alot better in the back of the S10. AL

versy was right about it being a corbin, pretty pricey but it was worth every cent as far as I'm concerned. Or should I say, as far as my butt's concerned. The before picture was a sporster seat which was better than stock but not by much.

I did it this morning. Here's a few pics. Not sure if I should paint them or leave them as they are.

" Aww yea,, but he sure shoulda painted those cans" or would you just say

Well I wasn't talking about painting them orange or pink or anything like that. I was thinking I should prolly paint them the same as the bike. The two shades of green are a little bit off. Then I could do some stencilling. But I'll just leave them the way they are. The only thing I have to do to them is install the turn signals but thats just a matter of drilling a few holes and running the wires.

Well, Al,, I see your point, & yea, they Could look better, & some personalized stencils that you come up with would be cool, yea,, its a shade off ( Bummer you didnt think of the cans before you painted the bike. YOu coulda taken a can to the paint store & had them match the [paint to them.)

Hmm,, went & looked at that pic again,, the shade you went with is a lot better lookin than the paint on the cans.. You got paint left over to do them or you ghotta buy more? Is that rattle can?

What would you stencil on? Maybe get some Nuke symbol decals?
Im usually not very big on theme stuff,but for some reason, Im diggin that one,
The TKat is the right brace for that setup.
