Mark, in spite of all that's wrong with these boxes, they are the best
looking. I wouldn't have any other box on my bike. Just chill out and work
with it. When it is all said and done, you will have the nicest top box I
have seen on the market. I love mine. Oh, I cussed a lot putting mine
together.
