DIY Ammo Can Panniers (44's Donut Vault)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- No matter what motorcycle you’ve got, there’s a way to rig up some saddle bags. The ammo can method is a cheap way to build a safe, sealed and secure storage solution. 44’s had enough of his superiors pilfering his powdered possessions, so he’s doing a weld-free installation on the VanVan. Special thanks to our friends and neighbors at Cream Pony in North Vancouver!

Almost speechless with the creativity, humour, filming, editing. Genius.
They were completely speechless, actually.
WAS THAT A FUCKING PERFECTLY-EXECUTED FOCUS PULL IN A UA-cam VIDEO?!
Doesn't take much for you does it.
@@hoilst265 Get over it.
Almost
Not one word spoken, yet so much communicated. This channel oozes artistic vision and value for those looking for a quick video to snack on.
Absolutely goated..
There is a fine line between artistic and absurd and I think FortNine is pretty close to crossing that line. The videos seem to be evolving from practical to just plain goofy, which is OK if your goal is entertainment rather than information.
that's what i mean "International"
Tone it down with the wannabe Rotten Tomatoes critic's tone. It's cringe.
@LTVoyager: Some channels would have made a tedious half hour vid on converting those ammo boxes. This conveys enough inspiration in a few minutes for any DIYer to make something similar,,, all the while raising a smile with their donutty antics.
I love the way this channel has evolved. the new guy is a great addition, always looking forward to every new video.
Hey! He has a name y'know... 44 😂
@@JammNickkthe names 44, agent 44
I bet a lot of people now liking him, where attacking him when the first videos came out.
@@GoalSquad666I was astounded to see how many people were being rude regarding 44 in the comments. It's like they thought 44 killed Ryan and wore his skin.
@@Fantasticanations that *could* be a great idea for a bit though, hmm
For all the sleekness of modern bikes, there's something to be said about older bikes (and cars for that matter) that just have random bolt points available all over the place. So useful.
Yes! If it's gonna look and feel old, it should be so as a whole.
Whoever is in charge of the music selection deserves a raise. Always fantastic.
anyone know what the donut song is starting at 1:00?

@@DrakenMusic Thanks so much!
@@callisquirrel9622I feel like my comment is a bit overlooked...
Ryan and 44, you're killing it. This is everything: the focus shifts, the split screens, the finger swipe at 1:35 perfectly in sync with the music. How can a short instructional feel like a music video, an 80s montage and a feature film all at once. HOW?!?
44 was such a great add to this channel 😆. And the production quality? Freakin amazing as always!❤
What's 44's name love to give a proper shout out😄
43 was good too. Too bad he wasn't good at anodizing. RIP 43. Long live 44.
I’ve watched other channels that add a new character into the mix, and it usually degrades the experience for me. I understand it makes it easier for the production team and the channel, but the reason I started watching those channels in the first place was because I loved the character, and the atmosphere. 44 is one of the rare editions that only adds to the viewing experience, and solidifies in my mind the fact that this channel knows what it’s doing. I applaud the production team for the marvelous work that they continually provide for my viewing pleasure.
Thanks for the 5 minute break from work! Amazing video, as always.
As someone that works in the film industry, that's some quality storytelling! And on top of that it manages to be an instrudtion manual for making an awesome set of panniers? What more can you ask? Nicely done!
And the color palette!
Literally every step in making some ammo canniers and why you shouldn't leave your keys on your bike in under five minutes.
A nice and crisp story, incredible cinematography and these awesome fabrication sequences. Thanks guys 🙌 couldn't have asked for more.
Incredible cinematography? Really?
@@dznnf7 What a hater... It is an Incredible cinematography for a low budget UA-cam channel! What did you expect? The new Oppenheimer?
I work in holywood and i have to say the cinematography in these videos is nothing short of masterfull.
The roles are also played so well.
I'd realy like to know who the mastermind behind all of it is.
The Ryan vs 44 battle is epic, love it!
Ever since I heard of this channel some 3-4 years ago, it has yet to disappoint. When they said it was probably the best motorcycling channel out there by one of the most reputable reviewers out there I understood that I had been missing out. Being disabled now for over 10 years, with the only thing I watch regularly being MotoGP tough less since Rossi stopped racing, this is such a breath of fresh air. Love and God bless from a previous MC mechanic(in my youth) from equally winter un-ridable Norway....
Nicely done, 44. Really love his addition to the channel!
The F9 content just keeps getting better.
I'll admit to feeling a bit disappointed when it seemed there'd be a new face around as Ryan devoted time to other things. Now I'm a big 44 fan too.
Thanks for all the great work F9 team!
I'm widely impressed how easy that was as an idea I had a while ago but never amount to do anything because the indicators were in the way and I thought for fork sacks BUT THE DREAM IS ALIVE AGAIN
These silent build videos are top notch. amazing how much can be done and shown with no descriptions.
Perfect and reliable in the post apocalypse.
Multi people are nuts and brilliant and thinking outside the box bravo to you too.
@@cowmath77 damn bro. Thats brilliant.
I cannot praise the brilliance enough. I simply cannot believe how adding 44 (and counting) made F9 even better. ❤
I suddenly want donuts! The DIY panniers are cool too. Signal lights are a nice touch.
A true craftsman with bandages on fingers and blood blister under nails. A few cuts and scapes icing on the cake. Great idea! Thx
If only Ryan knew that just hitting a masterlock with another masterlock will open one......
You guys are constantly changing up your style and never miss. Don't change your ever-changing ways and keep knocking em out of the park.
So fun.... and so well done!
By god, I'm grateful you guys exist.
Genius. Love the detail yet drama of this one. More DIYs for us frugal few!
Can never get enough of this channel
Well done guys. Loved it.
I love that you've still got the Honda Ascot kickin around
Your uploads never feel like UA-cam videos, they are like short films. Amazing !
Edit : It has always given me those Wes Anderson vibes, so good quality.
Very nice 44!
Maple eh.
Cracked me up! Almost had me ded at Ryan's key toss/silent rage.
Amazing, just what my Friday afternoon needed. Thanks guys!
The side of the can will split as it work hardens taking out a neat ring of metal the same size as the repair washer within a few weeks. You need to put a piece of plywood down the whole side you're attaching them to on the inside and bolt through it if you want to use ammo cans as panniers.
Perfect timing. Finished work on a Friday, and got notified of a new video from F9 👌
You guys at F9 are one of very few channels that I can't justify doing something else to whilst just listening to the audio. I know I'll be missing out if I do.
You guys are ridiculously good at what you do. So many tricks and ideas packed into an entertaining video.
The production that must have gone in to this is so interesting. Storyboarding, sound engineering, recording and then putting all of this together in the edit. Amazing. It isn't very often you see this kind of of effort on UA-cam. Truly a pleasure to watch! Keep up the great work
Smiling ear-to-ear, and thinking about donuts! At least several dozen ideas, including donut and fabrication, in the course of 4 and a half minutes! Thank you! BTW, Harbor Freight carries .32 and .50 cal sized, watertight, metal ammo cans for lame guys like me that have never come across the real things. I bought mine for around $12/ea after seeing a UA-camr post a video of one submerged in his bathtub with a light and camera inside! Sold! Should look good on my camouflage "Pine Green" RE Himalayan, if I ever stop riding it long enough to install my $12 cans. Gotta take advantage of Royal Enfield's 3-year unlimited mileage warranty!
In Canada, you can pick up 50 cal cans for under $25 at princess auto.
Loving the FortNine cinematic univese!
The quality of your videos always amazes me
Yeah every video a masterpiece
I have a 2017 Triumph Street Scrambler with the rack on the left for a fancy leather Triumph pannier .. I took the leather thing off and made a wooden box with a top load hinge that can flip open leaving an open top .This means in nice weather I can cary my 5 string banjo with me and when it is cold or rainy more layers and a rain suit fit in it safe all closed up :) . Being an older guy who got his A licence in Wales back in 1970 I have put a GB sticker on the box (a gift from my coworkers when I got the A level) and a RAF Rondel from WW2 . The box is also green :) .Being in New England people are intrigued with the set up and ask lots of questions ... I bet I could cary 2 dozen donuts in the thing .. No lock Ryan :)
When is the RyanF9 and Mechanic44 onlyfans dropping?
Uno dei canali più belli sulle moto a livello mondiale!
Esteticamente non mi piace il risultato di questo lavoro ma l'idea è bellissima.
0:38 Mate !!! Do you drink it with or without sugar? Greetings from Argentina!
I watched plenty of silent movies as a kid. Its an art form. Well done on "outside the ammo-box thinking".
I put 60mm Mortar cans on my KLR, amazingly useful but they weighed down that bike. The performance was a drastic difference when they were on and off.
Harbor Freight carries ammo cans of different sizes in metal and much lighter plastic. Both are cheap as dirt. Between the $50 pannier racks and $24 for two, heavy duty .50 cal, watertight metal ammo cans, I'm happy to once again "beat the system," cheap man that I am. I think, like highway crash bars on a cruiser, they may very very save a leg or exhaust some day. Bought a smaller pair of .32 cal cans for the front panniers on the front of my RE Himalayan. I think they may also save a leg, light, gad tank, etc, if I ever go down. Plus, the Army Green color looks awesome, IMO, with the camoflauge "Pine Green" color on the bike.
I put the Princess Auto (aka Canadian Harbor Freight) Pelican knockoffs on my KLR. Mucho lighter. I have real Pelicans on my WeeStrom and boy have they been crash tested. The Pelicans survived to bend the racks they're hanging off of.
Who's got 120mm mortars?
@@munk_ken NOT U.S.! WE'VE SENT ALL OF OUR MORTARS TO UKRAINE!
I also added a set of 60mm grenade round cans from Princess Auto to my KLX (Just like to add that Princess Auto is also a terrible store compared to Harbor Freight). They're too heavy for offroad. They'll shake the racks right off the bike. But they're great for commuting and running around town. On and off in under a minute for when the offroad mood strikes.
those are some of the best DIY i've seen in a motorcycle...
I just attached 20mm ammo cans onto my crf300l as diy panniers and they work great. They are larger them 50 cal cans and are about the same size of tusk aluminum panniers for a third of the price. I think I will do the cable lock like he did, seems to be a much better locking system.
I mounted 40mm cans to my Duke 390 and they work fantastic. $20 each!
I just mounted a 50mm gun and haven't had many issues since.
I mounted 30mm cans to my vstrom. I saved money by making the rack for them as well. I can't believe what they sell those aluminum ones for. I did order ammo can locks off Amazon tho. You can easily clip that cable with a leatherman
Another simpler latch lock.
Drill a hole into the box at the center of the hole in the latch. Put a bolt through the hole from the inside and nut it down. Drill a hole through the end of the bolt for the pad lock.
This would work better on a latch with a much smaller hole in it though.
@@bloodbushcraft2467 well, maybe not a Leatherman, but it will definitely stop a normal criminal from getting in. Any really determined criminal will get in to any lock but if it stops 9 out of 10, thats a good lock.
I just added one of these to my bike a couple weeks ago. It sits on top of my little luggage rack and just has a couple of U bolts that come up into the bottom of the box and wrap around the luggage rack bars. Bolted from the inside, with a locking mechanism on the outside. I love it!
Ok. That was awesome! Who else didn't see that ending coming?
Bravo!
Also, could Ryan please consider making a science brainy video on airing down tires for off roading? There is such a hot debate on that. Anyone else want to see Ryan give the final word on this?
I've never once hear It debated. You air down to keep from getting flats and for better traction. Heck the offroad guys in trucks and jeeps do it too.
Since when has this ever been debated?
I'm doing something very similar, adding two large 20mm ammo cans (each large enough for 1500 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition) to the headache rack on my 4WD Hijet Japanese mini truck to use as tool boxes. I'm adding remote keyless entry to the little truck so the tool boxes will lock and unlock with the driver and passenger doors.
I was worried the channel was going to suffer from the recent changes but how completely wrong I was. 44 is a great asset to the team and the videos just keep getting better and better.
I love how you chose to ride from the office to cream pony instead of walking. That’s a true rider right there! 😂
I was looking for this comment. I laughed when I saw how close it was. I did stop in there today. Pretty tasty donuts.
@@599Honda I haven’t been there yet myself, but I’ve heard good things from my friend that lives a couple blocks away from there
I’m trading in my Harley Sportster 1200 for a Honda CB500F. I pick it up tomorrow! 😁
Careful with that extra power 😅
@@flexywing I wasn’t really looking for power, mainly lighter weight, better handling/flickability, better riding position, etc.
My Sportster was highly customized, had 12 inch t bars on it, heavy, and just plain boring to ride.
a huge improvement
@ I test rode it on Tuesday, I was grinning the whole time I was on it 😁
@@OneFreeMan17 These are great bikes, and can do everything, I have toured around France and Spain on one, can hold its on motorways and is great fun on the twisties, and just kilss town work. Plus does it with 60 + mpg. Have fun
They got back from the long slump, now I enjoy all new vids again. Keep up the good work!
Hope to see more videos like this from you guys. So much entertainment on a simple, yet effective DIY tutorial
The production quality on this channel is crazy.
Have been using ammo cans on a few bikes,robust enough to act as crash bars😅
My lawd, these are motorcycle youtube videos... they have no reason to have this production and writing quality! Damn dude... nothing but respect!
The best Cream Pony ad I've ever seen! 😅
I have no words for how amazing these videos truly are
44 is easily one of the best comedic actors I've seen. Such expression.
You mean for a Clone, right?
Audio sounded really good on this video. Thanks for making the effort
Great video without one word.
Bravo!
Nice short my dudes! My cheap pannier hack back in the 80’s was strapping two CdnForces rucksacks together and looping the webbing under the seat of my old 78 Honda 750 EF. Rainproof, bullet proof (almost), flameproof and super lightweight. I still have those rucksacks, they never die. They hold many brown eggs.
Another quality addition to an excellent channel. Well done, chaps! 😊
Great exposure for Procycle - they are great people and a strong company
I once drilled my own Bulgarian's 7.62 boxes for panniers on the old KX125. One of them was cheesed the heck out due to my amature drilling.
Next day I drilled and mounted a Lock & Lock aluminum lunch box, solved that BS and called it a day. The OG Soviet era ammo box gave up 6 years later, L&L still there.
I love how you took the original song and modified the lyrics for donuts. A++++
The cinematography of this channel never disappoints
I used to own one of those Suzuki RV125 in kermit the frog green. NKY784# 1974 reg, handling sucked but really enjoyed it 👍😆 never made those panniers though, brilliant video
I considered doing this with larger ammo cans, but I decided on a plastic footlocker sandwiched onto a sheet of plywood and bolted to a top case rack lengthwise to cover the passenger seat. Over 35k miles later, I have no regrets.
That's what I love about modern donuts - the filler. Erm, I mean filling.
Back in my day donuts had a hole. And no-one was scared of a hole.
But times have changed.
Manufacturers now feel we may be bored by a hole & wander off somewhere else.
So, rather than trust us with a hole, they now give us filler. Erm, filling. I mean filling.
Glad to be able to see my most favorite bike(and most hated by you) VT500 Ascot again. 🙂
New guy is starting to fall in place. Great video!
For better or worse, this got me to visit Cream Pony, and I’m apparently not the only one :).
Genius. Ryan's face with the donut crumbs😂😂 simply genius. Much love❤ Please keep it coming❤
Genius, huh? Donur crumbs.
Quite the epic ride to Cream Pony 44…..😂😂😂
I like this video. I think those wire connectors shown are the best. I use them instead of the connectors that you have to crimp.
Wes Anderson level stuff. Outstanding
I’ve seen a couple guy in the area running around with ammo cans for bags. Guess they work good. They’re weather tight if you have a good seal around the top. Could always paint them to match bike or do a cool design on them.
Them’s be true mechanics hands if I ever did see! Great video 👍
Man I just love this channel.
I actually mounted an ammo crate just like this to my moped when i was 15. Even built in led lights in the bottom and a phone charger :P worked great
Even down to the turn signals IN the cans... That's beautiful
Donuts and Yerba Mate? Living your best life.
It's just the perfect way to start the day by watching FortNine video 😁.
Cream Pony - North Vancouver. Excellent fried chicken as well.
Cream Pony! A new stop on the Tour de Donut...
"Too many donuts for me!"
Subtle. Genius. 👏
I did this a few years ago as well. Great, cheap alternative to more expensive bags, and offers a cool factor too!
And if push comes to shove you can carry four hundred rounds of 7.62mm. Which might be handy if the pillion passenger has a belt-fed machine gun.
Oh my, putting the turn signals in there was really smart
I ran some on my vulcan 800 back in the day.
Held ice and beer really well. Added a drain plug latter to let the water out.
Tried to share a link to an image, but I think youtube isn't a fan of that sorta thing.
That was a good video. Love the spoiled grapes at the end.
Beautiful, no words needed.
Oddly enough, this is the exact project I’m working on. .30 cal ammo cans on a Rebel 1100
Brilliant! And you didn't even have to make fun of the Ascot...because it's an awesome little bike. So there. 🤪
Wasn’t going to watch because i have no interest in panniers like this. Was VERY glad that i clicked on this while being bored at work 😊👍
Especially fun after Ryan's recent crushing of the VT500!
