[QUOTE="supertankerm60a3, post: 1060911, member: 20650"] Clearly, with a load rating of only 13 lbs the rack is intended for only LIGHT duty. Any top case must have it's weight subtracted from the total load. I don't run a top case but I will guess that leaves almost nothing left. All these discussions of mounts that re-enforce the weak frame are good and use correct engineering principles but no matter which way you slice it, the FJR is a SPORT-touring bike. The general emphasis is on SPORT. if you want to load even a modest 30lbs and have your passenger lean on the rear box, on a stock bike, get a Gold Wing. Yamaha put such a pitiful weight rating on the rear rack for a reason. [/QUOTE]
