Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this item for my 2010 VStar 950. I didn't use the mounting bracket that came with it, I used my existing luggage rack as a stable platform, it was plenty strong enough for me to sit on (I'm 200'lbs) so I know it'll take the 20 or 30 lbs that will end up going in this thing. I also lined it with some automotive grade carpeting to give it some interior strength against sharp items inside cracking the shell or scratching my helmet or anything else in it. Overall I'm very pleased with the item so far. Will update this review once I've used it for a while. ___________________ 6+ months of use report. Ok so I've been using this trunk for almost 6 months and I've still very pleased. I've taken a couple of long distance (5 day) trips and its been great. holds everything I need for long trips and keeps my "essentials" handy around town. Rick
