Like I said, that will turn some heads... not what I pictured in my mind...

Good luck with the rack...

Make sure to exercise caution and check that rack frequently...

While the tour pack claims to hold 25 lbs, that weight would be directly over the tour pack rack... Your weight load, while less than 20lbs, is like a big lever working on the rear of that tour pack mount.

I'm not an engineer, but it would seem the stresses in your application could be far greater than a fully loaded tour pack...

Just be careful.....

Where there's a will, there's a way... I too had imagined it differently, sideways instead of vertically.... but you can still lane split this way

This is what I was getting at when suggesting having a gusset that transfers some of the weight to the forward part of the rack, you just put the reasoning in that I was missing.
