Fit for its purpose
| Great quality rack, well crafted and finished. Two things to understand if you're thinking of buying. First, you shouldn't plan on putting substantial weight on this rack, perhaps no more than 5 pounds. I'm sure the rack itself could take it, but the thing metal that lies underneath could not. I knew this going in but was not dissuaded; instead, it accomplishes what I want it to, which is to serve as an anchor point for mounting a Nelson Rigg bag to my passenger seat (I tether two of the bags straps to the rack and two underneath the seat). Second (and this is the biggie), with respect to the included instructions, FOLLOW them TO THE TEE when drilling the plastic. When you remove the two plastic covers on the bike, underneath each one, you'll see two perfectly symmetrical circles and think you should bore out those two holes (common sense, right???). Don't think you know better than the instructions as I thought I did! Before I started, I actually printed the illustration to scale, and when I laid the printout on top of the underside of each plastic piece, I thought, "nah, these instructions can't be right; I'm going to drill out each hole and stay within the circumference." Believe me, that's what every fiber of your being will tell you because it seems so commonsensical, but resist the urge. After I made 4 pilot holes, once I began using the 3/4 step-drill bit, ONLY THEN did I realize the error of my ways. So, I stopped, and was able to prevent royally screwing things up. The reason you need to follow the directions to the letter is because you're supposed to start drilling somewhat outside two of the holes because, once finished, those two holes will line up beautifully. When I realized I was going to run out of surface area and be screwed, I stopped drilling and manually filed the rest of the way. I know this is longwinded, and I apologize; yet if you're serious about buying this awesome little rack, I want to save you from making the same [nearly] fatal mistake I made. |

Love it. Don't stress about the template
| Just ordered the other day. Wingstuff is in San Clemente so I got it pretty much next day as I am less than an hour away. The rack looks good I like the price point too, is gonna be super handy. When I went to install I was worried about making the holes properly, but when I pulled off the little covers I noticed there's 2 circles on the backside. Kind of like a knock out in an electrical box. I just made a pilot hole in the middle of the circle and went all the way through with my uni*bit . Easy peasy I held it in my hand when drilling it out. Had to re-drill a couple times and test fit but I was still done in about 20 minutes. |

Luggage rack
| This product looks nice and was easy to put together. The template may have been off fractionally or I may have not drilled perfectly but I managed to install it. Makes the bike look complete with the backrest I ordered recently |

Good Fit
| I like this style rack because it's easier to tie down your gear and washing under it is easier. It fit well with the OEM passenger backrest and the install was easy. You do need to drill a little but their template was spot on. |

Luggage Rack Black for 2018 + Non-Tour
| I love the rack although the template measurements are a bit off center. I had to order new filler pieces and am going to re-drill the holes again. |
