I just installed the Harley luggage rack that goes directlyonto the sissy bar , easy 4 bolt install . My question is the posted weight limit on the rack is 10 lbs. that does not seem like a lot of weight , any one have any problems overloading this thing ?
The part number is 53011-98 (53011-98)

I think every Harley luggage rack has that 10 lbs limitation. It may be a legal CYA thing cause someone will put 200 lbs on on, it breaks; they wreck and blame HD for it all. Remember the bike will handle differently when you load up, its is like adding an additional rider, only one that holds still.

I just want to put a medium sized bag on it , I am planning a 3000 mile trip and need to pack a lot of sh*t .
