After last weekends ride I decided to refit the topbox that came loose. I did away with the extra Z brackets that were attached at the front mounting points.
I fitted longer bolts that tighten against the bikes frame behind the captive nut, and another nut to space the bracket out to the head end of the bolt. This seemed
to work OK and means there are fewer bolts to work loose. I'll keep an eye on them next ride The front bolts are an M8, the rear bracket ones are M8 as well and the front adjustable sections are M6. I fitted the box with M6 stainless bolts, using a rubber grommet spacer at the front mounting point to dampen vibrations.
On last weekends ride I struck a large hump in the road surface avoiding a big pothole. The impact popped the LH for seal so when I have the $$ it'll go to the
mechanics to have both seals replaced.
