OEM Luggage parts available?

[WJBertrand]

Did a dumb thing today and busted one of rear mount/dismount tab on my right side pannier box. Are parts available for the OEM luggage? I could not find anything on Yamaha's site or other parts sites. Alternatively, has anyone got a ruined right side case where this part survived?

You can attempt to fix it with those 2 mix epoxy steel resins. It usually makes it stronger than original condition.

Thanks, I guess that means no parts available? I've attempted a repair with this stuff:

I've had pretty good luck with this stuff in the past, but not sure the repair will hold.

The repair would work better with a doubler of plastic or metal. You're going to keep putting stress on the point of failure every time you use that latch.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm worried about. I thought about adding material, but I think it would have to be added to the outside, and therefore be visible. Not sure if there's enough room to add any reinforcement behind that tab, as it sits pretty much flush into its pocket when flipped up.

IF IF IF you can remove the thing, it's an ideal candidate to replicate with a 3D printer.
