The problem with 20mm ammo boxes is that they weigh 20# each empty. I
have a set of bags sold by JC Whitney I've used on all sorts of bikes.
They are black vinyl but they are real decent-just a rectangular box
shape with a lid held down with two buckles. The are provided with a
wide strap that ties the two bags together; mounting them consists of
laying them across the top of your seat & tying up a couple lines, or
you could lay them across the rear fernder/frame loop under the seat for
a more permanent mounting. They have stiffeners in them so laying up
against the rear shocks is adequate to keep them out of the wheel. They
aren't waterproof, but real functional for most occasions. I have put my
stuff in plastic trash bags inside the bag & it stayed dry. Fairly
inexpensive, effective, and the look good too.
Hope this helps,

If the boy's in the midwest mount too many more ammo-boxes on loop to late models the war effort will need to use laundry baskets! Available from various sources. Locally, Northern Equipment sells then for $12.95. Later, JU |
