Thanks for no injuries. I have Harley box on my VL1500, it has 2 steel plates with fiberglass sandwiched in between. But it has backrest, 2 speakers and arm rests. Would not be a good look for yours. My VL1500 averages about 30-40 mpg, take care.

Omg you was lucky it was only one car involved. Hope you get it sorted soon. I notice you wear jeans when on the bike what jeans are they as I looking at getting some.

What made it worse was the box was sliding towards an on coming vehicle ,making the impact effect even greater . I find these top box plate rubber cushions tend to lose their tension between mounting plate & top box base ,making the boxes rattle loose . Also that added to any wear that’s occurred over all the miles on the catch & reviver plate , can cause the box to suddenly fly off. One of my top boxes on one of my bikes is a GIVi & the other one is Chinese budget one that cost a third of the price . The cheap Chinese box is made out of the same material as the Givi & the lock & latch about as good . The mounting plate was also pretty much the same ,the only difference being the little rubber mounting cushions that stop the box rattling weren’t as big or dense as the ones on the Givi plate . I reckon these top boxes & plastic mounting plates are all made in China ,even the ones with GiVi & Shad on them .

Yes top boxes fall off because they are designed with minimal attachments and placed right on the perfect spot to give maximum leverage. They are almost designed to fail.
