The most I'd be carrying at one time would be a pair of shoes, a shirt and a pair of pants. Just stuff for work.

I guess I could get by with that setup.

 

The only time I had any flex on my motherwell rack was due to a slight misalignment on the rear bolt. As said above, the rubber does a real good job protecting the paint.

 

This is all great info, but unfortunately, Motherwell is sold out of the 7" one for the 2010 Street Bob....ugh. It's the black one on their page. Most of the folks here who have used them have put them on older SB's, and I guess something changed in 2009.
