Hello everyone!
Bike: 1978 Goldwing GL1000
Question: I really like the ammo can panniers look. So how do I go about mounting them?
I don't have any of the saddlebag hardware, so I'd need to get that, but if anyone (There's one guy with a rat GL1000 that has the cans) knows how to go about that, or has a writeup that'd be great. Thanks.

You'll probably have to fabricate your own brackets. They sure don't sell kits for the job.

With all that flat and straight metal on the ammo can. I would suggest you use angle iron from bed frames. Tenants often leave beds behind for some reason and college towns at the end of semesters are a very rich source of the frames.
Bed frame metal is thin but very strong and welds easily. i always try to keep a few available in the stash of iron
