Default Sissy bar with rack weight limit
I just installed a sissy with rack, the sticker and dealer info says I cant put more then 10 lbs on it. Is this true or some lawyer cover moco's *** limit? Im just curious cause I see alot of people running tbags and they've got to weigh more than ten pounds? How much can I safely carry on my rack.

I had a bag on mine that was at least 50lbs. Made it 1000 miles without trouble, and that was with considerable wind.

Thanks good to know i can carry more weight than 10lbs I recently got the kury day tour bag to use around town and will probably order something bigger for trips and such. Probably gonna get bags soon too Im really liking the Moco crossbones bags think theyll compliment my Lo nicely and have that old school western look to them
