hay Philip ! I think you may need more support under that box buddy !
bumps are the enemy of baggage carriers they have a tendancy to rip out bolt holes and
do strange twists at the same time... I had a teardrop shaped bag on my 1963 Honda 305 dream that I had heavily loaded, rip the bolts through the plastic and it tried very hard to leave the bike on the freeway one day.... I bungeed it back into place and later reinforced both bags with plate straps and several more bolts ...I lived down 2 miles of a dry creek bed of a road at the time.... but I never had a problem after going overboard
with their attachment ! .....
I haven't had any problems with the boxes on my bikes up here in Weed,Ca. but the roads I putt around on are not smooth ! weight and boxes and rough roads don't mix
so check them often !

Bob......
