Ethel scowling

Just noticed Ethel in the background of the ZX6R photos imperiously refusing to even recognise the presence of the other bike and mouthing - slut, it'll never last you mark my words.
Wonder if she spat the lost topbox off in a fit of pique ?
Anyway today fitted an identical 56 litre replacement box this time taking no prisoners. Instead of the internal wing nut screw that connects box to rack we have stainless Allen bolt plus mega washers plus Loctite plus Nyloc nut. As if that is not enough the front flange and upper rail of the rack now have zip ties connecting them. Thus in the astonishing case of the box pulling through the bolt these are intended to keep it on the rack as the box bounces up and down. Just as well that I never want to take the box off anyway.
