Default How much is too much?

My wife is packing a bag to put on the tour pack luggage rack and it feels like it weighs a ton...any foreseeable problems. I have all our riding gear down low in the saddlebags...chaps, rain gear, jackets, tools.

I remember seeing a sticker on my 14 limited luggage rack saying 10 lbs. was the limit ON the rack which is not very much but I may have read it wrong.

Not sure if they can hold more or not.

Call the Moco legal dept. - don't want to void your warranty.

i put more than 10 on mine but the more you get up there, the higher your center of gravity gets and it can affect your slow speed manuevering.

Put one of those small suit case like bags with the wheels, and handle, and a duffel bag on top of that, went about 300 miles one way in the rain, stayed a few, and came back in the dry, and all was good, two up, like stated above , just be aware of the weight when in tight places,
