Default Motherwell question

Looking to put a motherwell (or similar) solo fender rack on my fxd. Recent post here pointed out the need for model with wide front attachment plate, for stability. Looking at their site, it seems the 6 inch has the wide mount, the 7 inch does not. Anyone using the 7 inch with problems or not?

Also looking for a good bag to use with it. simple, small storage would do it. Ideas?
Thanks in advance.........

I have the 7" with no problems. Either rack is going to wobble a little bit side to side, but i dont think either will cause a problem, unless you strap a lot of stuff to it. I think the rack is only rate at 10 lbs or something real low in weight. I've put more than that on mine. But i do use a fender bib under the rack and my 2up seat.
