I have thought about the ammo boxes many, many, times over the years. The reason I keep deciding against it is weight. They aren't light, since they're made out of steel. Aluminum ones would be very light. You may only save 5-7 lbs, but when you're picking up a downed bike by sourself in the middle of nowhere, every pound counts. There were times when I crashed my old BMW, and just couldn't pick it up. With that said, there are a few aluminum army cans that would work, but they aren't cheap. The Night Vision cases being one of them. If I could find those at a reasonable price somewhere I'd buy them. Plus, the materials and skill for the aluminum panniers is free. It may take some time, but untimately I can build exactly what I want. May take some time since I really wrenched my back, but hopefully I'll get to it. I had soft sided Covercraft bags on my last KLR. Think hard case shape and design, but made of durable thick nylon weave. Super light. I loved them, but they aren't made anymore. I'd buy those again if I could find them. They don't get beat up if you crash. Ryan Newman Phoenix, AZ 'Norm Keller' normkel32@...
