wunderlich tour pack rack

[bmwsquirl]

paid a good dollar for rack wunderlich doesn't list weight limits.thats because it only holds four pounds.i thought I would pull a h-d move and put fender washers and matching rubber washers.
I laid it out drilled the back two holes w/bolt lengths longer workers great .my plan was foiled by the front two drill holes being very close to plastic being thicker in that area and I used the
supplied hardware.looked good on a road trip with 20lbs gear bag. rear held, front was flexing under wind strain .so I put the bag on the passenger seat for the rest of the trip.really was useless and a waste of good money.
be safe

That’s a shame, especially after putting the extra effort into reinforcing it. It sounds like the rack just isn’t designed to handle much more than light-duty loads, and the front mounting points being so close to the thicker plastic definitely didn’t help. At least you found out before it caused a bigger problem on the road. Thanks for sharing the experience it’s a good warning for anyone considering one. Ride safe!
