[QUOTE="Top Case, post: 1019835, member: 21110"] I bought my namesake top case after the recall, so it was reinforced when I got it. It started to crack in the same pattern as yours, starting from the back, at about 32,000 miles of continuous use (I usually store the side cases, but use the top case to ease urban parking). I repaired the top case cracks by bolting from the inside through the aluminum plate, with large fender washers padded with rubber plumbing washers. The case didn't crack any further, but only 3,000 miles later my mounting plate has started to crack. I don't see an easy way to reinforce that, so I'm looking for an aluminum adventure-touring style top case. [/QUOTE]
