Looks pretty tailor made, now I just have to find $40 of other stuff to get
from JCW to get the free shipping- 
I like the quick attach/reattach feature; should be really handy.
Wondering though, has anyone ever broken the mounting tabs off in normal
use? I assume breakage is a distinct possibility if the bike goes down, but
can stress from a full load break it?

mine is always loaded.
Stock lasted almost a year w/ it being mounted back past the stock
toolkit location.
Maintenance accidents and offroading has broken the lock and hasp.
the two rearward tabs broke off one by one and now I just rely on two
bungee cords attached acrros the case and hooked to a the HT SU racks.
Some times I use it as centerstand in apinch wich really aint that
often with stone cold reliable klr.
Even if you buy the case off ebay for more than what JCW wants your
getting a fair deal.

Wow, use it as a centerstand?? Sounds really rugged..
So did the mounting tabs break off from the jouncing around of a fully
loaded box, or from an impact?
Would it be overkill to use added bungees cord as backup to secure it, if
the mounts are still good?
I do that with my tank bag though it's never given me any indication that
the snaps could come off, just because I'm nervous about the thing falling
off from some fluke. With it behind me, I wouldn't know for miles, so I'd
like to make sure I don't lose all the "stuff" I keep back there..
I'm inclined to do that same with the trunk, but maybe I could skip the
added step if it's really secure.

Howdy,
I've never broken any parts off but other listers have mentioned the
bag popping off in rough going. I've used a bungie to help hold mine
down and it's held in place under extreme conditions. However, the
hinge pins both vibrated out. Solution: put a nail through and bend the
ends to hold in place. No problems since.

Good to know about the hinge pins, I'll take some steps to retain them when
I get it-
Sounds like it'll hold in all but the most extreme conditions. Still, I may
use a small paracord lanyard with a carabiner just to clip quickly to the
bike, if for no reason than to let me know it's come undone as it clunks
against the side. I like to tether everything I can, 'cause I'd lose my rear
end if it weren't attached.

Same as Jeff. I route two bungees through the handle of the box and under
to the luggage rack. Never had an issue.

Mine hasn't broken yet, but it does seem to rattle a little too
loosely for my tastes, so I might go the bungee cord route to avoid
any future damage. I will say this: Dang that thing holds a lot of
junk!
