10 months now what about the HT setup? :-\
Well, since you ask, here goes...
Mounted the boxes, went for a ride, and they fell apart - every panel separated, there were sparks everywhere and my only clue anything happened was my MPG shot up from the reduced wind resistance...
KIDDING!
They remain as rock solid as the day I installed them. Tough enough to ward off everyday use, so rock chips, etc simply don't happen.
They hold a TON of junk, obviously, they are water resistant - I've ridden dozens of time in everything from mist to downpours - narry a drop inside - which my computer appreciates.
Top box is bolted directly tot he mounting rack in my case, so non-removable - again, rock solid.
Been on long road trips and offroad, over everything from dirt roads, potholes, rocky river crossings, rock ledges, etc. Solid.
I've noticed lately the stickers are staring to peel slightly around the edges, but no biggie - I get the feeling the sticky used on the stickers is super sticky, so they won't peel completely off, ensuring the retro-reflective work they do continues.
Locks remain in excellent working order, lock covers remain perfect and work well to protect form the weather.
I am 100% totally pleased with these panniers all this time later.
