[QUOTE="garauld, post: 1358947, member: 371"] I have a few quick answers: 1. Do you have a general idea of the weight capacity of this rack?[B][I] ->Quite a bit. The two lower M8 fasteners would probably fail in shear so if the cross section of each bolt is about .2", they should each easily carry around 600# before yielding. You won't be bending the 0.060 wall steel tubing either.[/I][/B] 2. Does it sit over the seat but just above so as not to damage it?[B][I] ->yes, that was a design criteria.[/I][/B] 3. It looks like this rack should also bolt up to the standard Givi SR357 rack?[I][B] ->yes, that was a design criteria.[/B][/I] 4. Assuming a bag/load mounted on this rack that over hangs to the top of the panniers, is it high enough to allow you to insert the key into the pannier locks and lift the tab to open the lids?[I][B] -> I believe so, but the rack does not stick out over the lift tab.[/B][/I] 5, Looks like this rack could also serve as a rider backrest with the addition of a simple/slim back cushion that slips on over end part, is that in the works?[I][B] -> not at this time.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
