Nope ... Never had one ( primarily ) because of all the problems ( I have a buddy who has one ) with keeping them stuck where they belonged. I have read about using the Tour Pack bolts to keep it in place. Might work.

My other idea was to glue it to a piece of masonite and bolt it with the luggage rack bolts but that a little more work and not sure what glue/caulk to use.
The problem with the VHB velcro is the tensile strength of the hook and loop system will be overcome by the curling effect of the warped organizer. The only thing you will accomplish is having the velcro stuck really good to your lid. Try taking the organizer out and gently heating it with a heat gun while laying it on your garage floor to try and straighten it. Don't overheat it or you may find out if it melts.

Thanks Larry. I mostly use it to hold bandannas and clear lenses. Nothing terribly heavy. It was already curled wen I bought the bike. Last year I heated it in the sun then weighed it down to flatten it, then used Gorilla Glue Tape but that didn't even last 6 months. Maybe I will see if I can live without it.

Happy Birthday Cindy.

No tour pack, so I can't help you Markus.

Russ...I had thought the same thing, the velcro would be the weak link. Is a hair dryer comparable to a heat gun or do I need to make a run to Harbor Freight? My wife failed to clean the lint screen from her last hair dryer and just replaced it without asking me if there was anything to be done to salvage it. I inherited it rather than trashing it, cleaned the screen and it heats up just dandy

Markwood, It's almost like a twelve pack except without the twelve
