Step 2Lockable Motorcycle Pannier Made from Jerrycan

Lockable Motorcycle Pannier Made from Jerrycan

Spotted at Emeryville Marina, California.
The maker cut the jerrycan just below the top, beat some shape into the upper lip so it slides over the lower portion of the can, and added a locking hasp.
I couldn't see any sign of a hinge on the other edge. There must be some kind of hook or internal chain to keep the lid down on that side.
A very nice way to protect your valuables on a motorcycle.
