Anyone used the luggage rack that attaches to license plate?
Hi,
Anyone ever use one of these?
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/710-757
I am taking a camping trip which won't happen often so I don't want to invest in a backrest luggage rack combo.
I am going to buy the Saddlemen tail bag for the passenger seat and am thinking of this rack for the sleeping bag and tent.
Anyone use one. . . they say they only hold 10lbs and look kind of small?
thanks

Should be fine for just a sleeping bag and tent. I have one similar on my Honda and I load it with junk all the time. I've strapped a tent, sleeping bag and cooler on it with no problems.
As I said, not the same part, but very similar.

Has a ten pound capacity. That's not that much less than what's recommended for those that attach to the frame and fender.
