#14389 Lisa (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 which luggage rack? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Hey y'all! I'd really appreciate any advise/input on this. I'm looking at 2 different luggage racks and am not sure which would be better. STR-4WM51-10-01 seems to put too much weight on the license plate thingie. STR-5VP51-30-00 attaches to the existing backrest mount instead of the tail light assembly. Any experience/thoughts to share with me? Thanks in advance.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #14390 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Platinum Boarder Posts: 1013 Re:which luggage rack? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Given the Yamaha stated 10# weight limit either would be okay BUT I went with the STR-5VP51-30-00 and have carried over 10# with no problems Welcome!

It makes more sense to me to use the backrest mount, which is sturdier than the license plate bracket. Thanks for the help.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #14413 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:which luggage rack? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Go with the backrest mount one... The other is for those that dont have a backrest mount   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #14416 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:which luggage rack? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Hmmmmm that makes sense, a logical choice.... ....Coug<br><br>Post edited by: Cougar, at: 2007/01/14 05:41   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #14417 Lisa (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Re:which luggage rack? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Yup. That does make sense. Okey dokey. The backrest mount luggage rack is the one for me. Thanks, guys!

As you stated the rack does say 10lbs max. I was traveling for 8 two up we had or travel bag filled to the top. Also the bag is a big leather bag and weighs more then the Tbags. I had a lot of weight on the rack and was concerned if the rack could hold it. It did with NP and since that trip I have made several other long trips with no problems. I think they put 10LBS on it to cover their butts (lawsuits) and all. It can handle more then 10LBS I would not worry about it.

It's the one that I have: http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/rarivera53 It's a much cleaner look, too.

Will this fit right up with my factory sissy bar ? I have the shorter studded one, is there any additional hardware required ? If so what would I need ?

The one that mounts to the luggage rack is for the '03 or the '04 and up. If it mounts to the luggage rack I think it will fit the short sissy bar. My brother has a short rest and it fits on his '07.
