I found all of my side box latch bolts loose even though there was a lock washer.

Same here, noticed that around 500 miles. Also my rear left side luggage case - the rear bolt is not loose..but there's some wiggle room of the case plastic against the bolts mounting nut.

Found that with my left case as well. Wiggles but the bolts are as tight as they get.

Will pull the bag off this weekend and see what's what

Thats the problem....the bolts aren't loose, only the bag is. The bolts must have a shank on them and run out of thread? No nuts on the back side...

Put some rubber washer on there.
