Yesterday was a sad day for me, after about 8 years, 4 different bikes, 80000 used miles...@ I noticed that my topbox has developed a large crack
It is on the base of the box, the crack is about the same shape as the profile as most of the mounting plates ...poor wee topbox
It has carried my works laptop on many hundreds of journeys, looked after my lid so many times, transported much needed beer to my home on many an urgent need...bye bye topbox, I will miss you
A sad day...my poor topbox...

Try a glass fibre bandage from a car body repair kit? If you still get such things. Must be getting on..
