[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1053964, member: 6354"] But if the pillion leans back hard on the box, it applies weight out over the back of the bike, just like an overloaded box. I just can't imagine anyone leaning that hard on a top box and actually being comfortably seated...... I think their back would be just as broken as the subframe. I do know that one time my (ex)wife was climbing onto the bike and put her right hand down on the box lid to push up. I gave her very firm speech about hand on my shoulders to climb on, and nowhere else. If the pillion uses the box as a handle or handrest during mount/dismount then you'll have a major problem.
