[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 8257, member: 436"] Just keep in mind that, in addition to anything behind the axel makes things more top heavy, it also adds leverage to the weight when swinging it through turns. I learned this years ago when I put a small plastic trunk on my RE5. I had to fabricate a luggage rack for it and I made sure it was far enough back for a pillion to be comfortable. I used the trunk for text books, probably 20 -30 pounds. I got a noticeable swaying feeling from having that weight hanging out back. It was most noticeable on sweeping curves on the freeway.
