Hi all,
I just wanna share a trivial story.

I did not do this intentionally, but somehow, after getting on the bike tonight (yeah night riding), i had a feeling that I forgot to lock the topcase (Honda 35L). However, I just proceeded.

When I reached home, I confirmed that I left the topcase unlocked (but it looked closed all the time).
I had travelled about 30km, 50% on a highway at speed reaching 100kmh-120kmh.

BTW my false tank is now never latched while riding (call me lazy Joe). I only lock it when I park the bike.

So....I can confirm that it is ok to ride with the box unlocked but closed. Or am I just lucky?
I can also confirm, the fit between the box and the rack is not very tight, so rattling is "common" while going on undulating surfaces.

You don't lock the dummy tank storage space? If I do that on my NC700S and drive at highway speeds (>130km/h) it flies open, happened before, scared me to death :p
