Panniers
I am over in Toronto at present (getting to know our new grand-daughter).
The house nearby is getting some work done on it and one of the crew drives a DL650 and the panniers are metal ammo boxes with all the lettering describing calibre and explosive tips. I will try to get a photo and post when I get back. It is certainly different to normal panniers. SMcG in very hot Toronto |

Re: Panniers
Yeah it's common thing for adventure bike riders, I've seen pics of quite a few people's bikes.
Ammo boxes are quite cheap to buy, but most of the ones available over here are quite small. |

Re: Panniers
I've done a couple of sets, if you get the 40mm grenade ones they are deeper, heavy mind, but very tuff, have to fabricate your own mounts obviously.

Re: Panniers
I have a random tank shell ammo box in my attic which I found when I moved in (unfortunately no shells inside - boo!). Maybe I can fabricate some sort of top box of death out of it.

Re: Panniers
I'd have thought riding around with those might lead you to being stopped, arrested etc on terror offences! That's not a suggestion to the degenerates or sexual deviants...
