Can anyone tell me how much weight the rack is rated for? I read in another thread it was only like 10 lbs? Man that can't be right, can it? When I pack my Full Dresser Bag for a week I know it is close to 50 lbs, and have ridden many miles with it AND a soft sided cooler strapped on.

Any information would be appreciated.

 

Hmmm...if I remember the small rack on the back of the Deluxe says 7 or 10 lbs?
The Deluxe saddlebags also said 7 lbs and the touring pack on the detachable solo setup says 25 lb...

So 10 lb might be right.

 

Well, I know the saddle bags are rated for 15 lbs on my Road King. I just can't imagine how the heck you could pack a t-bag for any kinda real trip and not go over 10 lbs on the luggage rack.

 

I recently installed a luggage rack and I peeled off the sticker that stated it was only rated for 10 lbs. When I asked the same question, someone stated that that was probably a disclaimer.

I had approximately 35 - 40 lbs loaded on my luggage rack and it didn't budge.

Here's some pics of my setup. Hope this helps...

mine says 10 pounds--- guess that weight is resting on four bolts on the fender.....when they rate it at ten and you have a problem after over loading and attempt to sue HD, they can point to their warning! all those little stickers are to protect themselves from lawsuits!

 

Yeah, nime handled it fine too. Ain't that some $hit. 10lbs. Whata joke

I set my full dresser on the passenger seat backwards so I dont have to us the rack as much.....but thats riding solo.....

 

disregard

 

Lawyer talk. I have put a large/full tbag on it for 4000 miles with no problems.
