[QUOTE="SLK50, post: 949423, member: 4790"] The stock rack is plastic and poorly suited to handle the rotational forces created by a top case. Those forces are transferred to the very end of the subframe. The SR357 is inflexible metal and transfers those same loads about a foot further into the frame reducing the rotational loads ( torque ) at the end of the subframe exponentially. I have ridden thousands of miles with a top case too heavy to carry on my SR357 without a problem. I have, on occasion, raised the rear of my bike for servicing via the SR357. Try that with the plastic rack. [/QUOTE]
