Rear rack - just to mount a day bag

[rbentnail]

For a long time I used the factory trunk additional mount plate a strapped day bags to it. Cheap, easy to install.

Not sure if it means much but.........
The installation instructions for the Touratech rack state - "Maximum load 5Kg"! , that's about 10 lbs............

I guess that limit is there to protect the sub-frame. You are certainly not going to hurt that rack. It's very well built.

I normally have my dry bags strapped long ways on the bike. So the weight is disbursed between the rack and the seat. I have put up to three dry bags on there when I have my camping gear. Maybe I am pushing it, but fingers crossed no problems yets. Thats two 20L sealine bags and one 30L bag. Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothes, etc. So really more bulk then weight.

That pic sure looks like Luckenbach, TX.

I made this which is attached to the Yamaha rear luggage rack for my FZ6.

Several holes for bungees, very, very useful:
