3 of the 4 that attach the case to the seat pan are flat, the 4th is on a bit of an angle but not bad. The large bolt that comes up from the undertail is on a greater angle, the lock washer helps keep the wing nut pretty still, plus I can see it every time I open the case and check it as needed. It would have to back off 1 1/4" of threads before it would come off and that wouldn't be in a day of riding. Thanks
