Ahh the square side mounted diesel tanks!!
I wonder if they just used the same design but stuck hinges in them for lids and turned them into toolboxes

!
Going to look well cool with those fitted

I can detach them anyhoo . 'll see what a coat of paint does .

Love the straps. Straps just make everything look like it's supposed to be there rather than just stuck on the tank with a glue mixture of rainbows and unicorn tears.
