It's refreshing to watch a diy so down to earth and funny. I especially enjoyed the end with: if you have any comments on how things could have been done better, be sure to keep them to yourself. So great!
Great stuff! Had a buddy in the service using tossed ammo can's for year's, up until he ran out and we had to improvise. he wanted something that opened outwards and could hold itself like a fold-out shelf so he google'd lockboxes and such, found the very same cases you showed! He opted for the ones with those side hinges that can lock at a right angle and now hes got a semi-complete tool rack fit for any kind of catastrophic engine meltdown/flat tire. Cheer's from Portugal!
Almost bought one of those. Went with the Rebel 1100. I feel like they fit the same criteria. Both are awesome. I'm in the same boat as you. I don't want to turn the rebel into a Harley with a sissy bar, giant seat with passenger seat or bagger but I need some good storage.
@@SpinningWrenches actually commented before the video was done the final bracket made did look good and fit well but I think I would rather have something that open from the top instead of like the suitcase
at last, someone using their head, why spend $200 on materials and need $200 worth of tools and spend all weekend in the shed making them, amazon has some cheap cases, $40 for two, they also sell plastic ones that are 100% waterproof, they have rubber seals in the lids, and they are even cheaper, IMO they look better than motorcycle panniers bought in bike shops and there are more choices in sizes and materials, some of the aluminium ones are anodized R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. etc, and many finishes, matt, gloss, satin, polished aluminium and buffed too, PS these ones look great and suit the bike, the KTM & BMW ones in particular that I've seen look to big and are cumbersome looking,

The “embroidered flames that make me wish I was dead” EARNED that sub. 😂😂
"The big building that sells pants that look like trees"
That sentence made my day

How are you liking the Rebel 1100? I was looking at those as well but ended up on the KVS because it was more in my price range.
You could add bellows to the side to hold stuff in, with 2 dollars worth of fabric or vinyl and some e6000 glue.
Great video. The PBR case was a nice touch.
Mixture of Humour and Innovation.......😅😅😅 Great video... keep up the good work.
Case could’ve been mounted higher to Hide hardware but great build. Thanks for the video
Nice!! I'm thinking of doing similar but I require that it holds a 12 pack. Great video!
Nice, good to hear that I am not the only fair weather rider.
Both work and scream were great.
I used small ammo cans on my bike. They're pretty low profile, weather resistant, and they open on top.
That's definitely what I would do on a more choppery or offroad looking bike, but on this bike I didn't think it would work well with the style.
@@SpinningWrenches yeah I just have a Rebel so no one thinks it's cool to begin with.
That was brilliant, loving the attitude.
"that's fucked up"lol true
you could add a layer of cloth on both side so it could hold better v ahape cloth
I went with the Harbor Freight Apache (Pelican) Box @ $38 .
"And if you any opinion on how this could've been done better, be sure to keep them to yourself"! Hahahahha
You sound EXACTLY like Tyler from the channel "The Imaginary Axis".
Anyway, awesome video!
Should’ve went with like a plastic ammo box. That way when you opened it, you didn’t have to pick all the things up after the sidewalk.
I did an ammo can build as well! It does load and unload easier/more securely, but doesn't look quite as good on this bike.

great video
Havent laughed so much at a youtube video since Ryan F9 did a water test on a visorless helmet
You mount through the lid. this way when it opens your stuff is in the deep bottom and doesnt fly out
That's a good idea, I'll try it next time
Greeeeat video!
Ending got a sub 😂😂

HAHAHA!!!!! love the last comment man! 🙂
funny af
A very shitty result. With more thought and skill you would have reached a much better result.
That's what people told your parents when they brought you home from the hospital.
Hahahahha
