i have one of those drop down in the rear baskets on my 2005 ribi . which really puts a strain on the rack mounts when loaded and have not had a problem so far. matter of fact, this summer at the cabin i fully loaded the rack up with cinder blocks a few times and hauled a couple of miles down the road to the neighbors. although, after reading this thread, i did go check the mounts out just for safety and they seem to fine.
