Introduction: Black Bucket Panniers

So after doing a lot of research into building bucket panniers.....I came across this link on instructables.

I think this is best design out there for a cheap and high quality bucket pannier.    The pannier clips ordered from Jandd.com are awesome, easy to attach to the buckets and were only $1.50 a piece.   The one think I wanted that I hadn't seen anyone do yet was get some buckets that weren't the god awful kitty litter white ones.   I did quite a bit of internet searching before I found a company that would sell me two buckets of the color I wanted and wouldn't cost much more then buying kitty litter buckets.   This is what I found:

They make the 4 gallon bucket in a wide variety of colors to match most bikes.   I got two black buckets with matching black lids for $20 shipped to my door. 

If you have questions feel free to email me but use the link above for an inventory list and build instructions.   I just wanted to offer my two sense on the buckets.
