I hear the this tool box is as water tight as a

I would not want my tool's getting wet all the time, and for that sort of money I would expect it to be water tight without having to mod it.

Just my 2p worth

I modded mine with clevis pin and R-clips to make the lid quick release. This has saved my knuckles being skinned whenever a need to find a tool.

However, I'm working on a slightly more refined quick release lid system as we speak. Watch this space...

Note - nylon washers are superglued in place on the lid.

Oh, nearly forgot: It is worth sealing the four holes in the front (spray from wheel gets in) with silicone from the inside before you fit it, leave the lower two open for drainage (water doesn't seem to get in here).

Here is the B-P and Tool Box on my bike, as the bike went in for a DataTag they (Yam' shop) put the thing on too, aslo, the three keys that came with it, two of them are the WRONG keys, gave them (Touratech) a ring and they'l send me two more

I 've finished the "improved" version of the removable lid by the way...

Yeah! You should have seen the state my right hand was in before I altered the lid!
