Well if the bike can take two up I'm sure adding a load of gear
on one of these would not exactly pose too much of a problem
now would it ? !
unless of course you planned hauling like
more than one keg of beer or something like that
It will however take a lot more weight than any std Rack.
In any case if I did put a rack on, it would by my preference
for the thing to able to be removed in 10 mins or less, as I
have yet to see any that improve the look of a bike.
Wing .......LOL ....... nothing like a creative imagination.

It is secured with straps and buckles.
That in itself puts me off.
Gawd dat's buttugly IMO
Looks like a goldwing with all that stuff on it................
If I can't get what I need in 3x48Liter cases, it stays home.
Hell, I rode from Illinois to California and over to Texas (Galveston) with a rucksack, and changed clothes everyday.
I think we're all getting soft...................incl me..........

I think really big racks are overrated. After all, more than a handful's a waste. .

The weight seems to be over the pillion seat so it shouldn't be too much of a problem up to about 200lb max. Most racks allow the pillion seat to be used as well , so it overhangs the rear of the bike . Fulcrums and leavers blah blah blah...
Of course you could have a nice comfy lounge chair mounted on that rack , very comfy and a great view of the road ahead for the passenger

Well, let's just say that you're as hard as you're gonna get, and that still falls short of where I am...........can't speak for Sprock of course.
