Ok, so I've always liked the idea of using old military ammo cans as luggage. Besides being cheap I think it just flat out looks cool. Typically see them on dual sports and are practical alternatives to expensive storage options.
I thought I'd be preemptive and went ahead and picked up some 20mm cans. I didn't realize how big they would be next to our little Seca and are stupid heavy. With solid mounting hardware I'd be near 75lbs for empty cases :yikes: Scrapped that idea and now I have two new tool boxes.

These are the new ones I'm looking at, what do you guys think? I would put locks on them of course and the plastic would be light and easy to drill. 14" across. In a flat black I think they'd be sweet.
