[QUOTE="mvette, post: 978061, member: 966"] No I have not. There are metal inserts molded into the plastic where the attaching bolts go through to keep the plastic from cracking the plastic when tightened. When removed, the rack assy. is very light weight. Take it completely off and you can tell it is not metal. The point is it breaks where it should be made of something a lot stronger like the Givi 357. I think these things catch hell when a passenger leans back into the top box when accelerating, not so much as what you carry in the box. My Yamaha extended warranty covered mine when it broke, but it took a lot of bitching to get it covered. I never installed the new one. I got the Givi 375 and just kept the new one incase I sold the bike. I was using the Premier plate with the Givi adapters when this occured. I didn't want to take a chance and eventually breaking the sub frame at some point. As much as I hated to take the pretty Yammy grab rail off I went with the Givi. [/QUOTE]
