The Slow Breakage of Things

I have been riding the HLTSB quite a bit, but there are some things that simply fall apart after a while. This bracket is the second (of two) to snap apart. In this case, I think it is just a sign of being well used, rather than some defect in workmanship. The support stays to the same basket also broke a while back, so I replaced those. For the handlebar bracket, I am just using a zip tie on the other side. I will probably do the same here, but I have been thinking of backing it up with some Paracord. I do not mean to overload the front basket, but sometimes I still do.
