This was the video that prompted me to go down a fucked up rabbit hole of buying a welder, drill press, angle grinder, and the shit to wire a new circuit to the breaker box. Ended up going with 20mm cans which are twice as big/heavy so i needed a more robust bracket setup. $600 and some new skills later they're done! Defeats the point of the cheap build but now I've got a shop full of fab tools. Going to make a sissy bar and floorboards for the vulcan next. Thanks for the ride man!

In 2019 I bought a Vulcan S . I love this bike . After a few months I decided to add a set of saddle bags . All of the saddle bags for this bike were very pricey and even more for the mounts . I decided to make my own for a fraction of the cost . I purchased a set of Pelican V 250 cases for about $120 . I fabricated some mounts out of steel bars 1/4 x 1 inch very similar to the ones you used . These are the best bags I've ever owned ( and I've owned several on several bikes ) . I can fit a full bag of groceries in each one . They open from the top and are air tight . They also can be locked using a padlock . If I ever own another bike , I will fit it with another set of Pelican v 250 cases . I like these cases even better than the U S steel ammo cases that I once had on my old BMW R80 / 7 .

Looking at something like this for my Harley! Nicely done. I personally would just want stiffer brackets instead of the chinesium

Was planning to do the same thing with my fat bob and paint the bike a matching color

To be fair I think anything made of that size of flat section will probably struggle in this application. I'm not making any comment on the quality of the steel because I have no way of knowing! As he said it would probably work better with some gussets welded in - you just need to add some depth to the section basically...

I bought a couple of large 20 mm ammo cans, mil surp (no lame Cabela's ad) but in like-new condition. They're a lot larger than the fat 50 ammo cans you bought. I'm going to use them for tool boxes on my Hijet mini truck. I'll mount then on the headache rack, just below the rear window but above the sides of the bed so I still have the entire bed for carrying sheets of plywood, etc. BONUS: I bought a cheap but vurra nice aftermarket remote power door lock for the Hijet to avoid any more wear on the door lock cylinders and it has four actuators. I'm going to use the rear door lock actuators to lock and unlock my ammo can toolboxes. How pimp is that? Your craft store 2mm EPA foam liner tip for the ammo boxes is worth the cost of the video. I'm planning to "paint" the entire mini truck, inside and out, with Monstaliner polyurethane truck bed liner, and I'll paint the inside and outside of the ammo box toolboxes as well. That won't add much padding, but I'm carrying tools and off-road recovery equipment (straps, hand winch, folding shovel, etc.) so the toolboxes are probably too rough duty for even dense foam.

Sounds like a plan! for that application I'd probably go with rubber lining rather than foam.

I’m working with a Vulcan s and those bracelets just looking for info on how many washers you needed for the holes? And what bolts you used for the mounting brackets to the frame? That you in advance

@Bunzarelli 3 ай бұрын

I just bought a 2024 Honda shadow aero and was looking to do this, think I could go about it the same way with those brackets? I’ve been spending hours thinking how to do it and just can’t find a solution

Anybody see how many washers he put on the front and back to make it line up? In between the bracket and the struts? And what bolts to use? I have the same bike so I’m trying to avoid the whole trial and error on that part

You got any ideas for adding easily detachable saddlebags to a modern Rebel without adding a rear seat, ugly brackets, or a rack?

@SpinningWrenches 11 ай бұрын

If you don't want to do any of that stuff you could always just get a set of throw-over saddlebags. Though, in my opinion most leather throw-overs would clash with the more modern styling of that bike.

I already feel like there is too much flex that the bracket will slowly bent downwards and eventually it will hit the wheel if you put some good weight in it

@Liberty4Ever Жыл бұрын

@@polartsang - It looks like there is no plastic deformation so the steel will continue to spring indefinitely. If it was aluminum, it'd be a problem, particularly including fatigue failure. Bubba Engineering approved.

@polartsang Жыл бұрын

@@Liberty4Ever doesn't read. I said the issue is you can't hold too much weight as the bracket is not sturdy and will Flex. It doesnt matter if it spring back and not deform if your saddle will hit the wheels

@Liberty4Ever Жыл бұрын

@@polartsang - Loaded with max weight (8 cans of Coke) and went for a bumpy ride. The bottom of the ammo can flexed inward maybe an inch, with at least another inch of clearance. I'm not crazy about the flexing, for aesthetic reasons, not structural reasons. Spinning Wrenches did mention that he's adding gussets to make the mount more rigid. That should enable him to carry tungsten or lead. :-)

Subscribed. The wiggle bugs the shit out of me though. Can you explain to me like I'm 5 how to stabilize them?

@SpinningWrenches 11 ай бұрын

Either: 1. Buy stronger braces that aren't made out of chinesium 2. Add a gusset to the chinesium bracket. This is a piece of metal that connects the horizontal and vertical sections so that the vertical section can't wiggle.
