FWIW- I bought a black rack from Brian for 2010 RG. Just came back from 6000 mile 8 state road trip with my wife on the back and a fully loaded Tour-pak. Rack looks perfect. I'm not sure if new frame design is better. Looking at those pictures.........That must have been one heavy laptop!

I have mounted my tourpak at the furthest back position and have been using it fully loaded with passenger for multiple road trips. It is still tight and looks as new. I think the newer model frame mounting points may be slightly further apart reducing the leverage on the front mount.

Man there are a lot of variations of this rack.. The last two look very similar to mine, but not the same.. LWNBoy's looks VERY close, but I think the lower tab on his forward mount is a little thicker than mine was.. It's hard me to say as I didn't take any before pictures and the bent metal could have distorted considerably in the process...
RoadRunner's rack looks similar but doesn't appear to use the same rear mounts...
Odd.

MSlater's looks like it might be the same, except chrome of course..
I dunno fellas.. I wish you the best with yours.. Based on my experience I cannot with good conscience recommend that you continue to run 'em.

Well, I can say Im a little dissapointed that I havent heard back from Nick at MB yet. I sent an email on Aug. 20th, just asking what his thoughts were on the tour pac rack, being that I have heard of some that have failed. No response......I didnt even complain or ask for my money back just yet. I was just looking for his thoughts on the situation.
