    The pictures are awesome and I love the scenery there. But what I’m stopping in to say is I dig those saddlebags. Ammo cans?

      Those are the Tusk “large” size universal aluminum panniers. They’re quite a bit larger than ammo cans (although maybe not 40mm or grenade cans).

      A buddy of mine has the same bike but uses .50 cal ammo cans as panniers. They’re a bit restrictive, so he also has to lash a duffel to the top. I can make do by cramming all of my junk in these panniers instead, which leaves the top rack free for my fold-a-crate into which I can put firewood or any unwise souvenir purchases I might make in my travels.

        Nice. Now I’ve got to go look. I’ve been looking at 20mm ammo cans and they’re about the same size as that (the .50 cal cans are too small for me).

        Appreciate it, friend!
