Trunk Rack
Need more storage. Thinking on a trunk rack. See the Show Chrome and the Rivco. Any helpful hints out there??
Thank you !!

trunk rack
I have one by Diamond R Accessories on my RT. It is level instead of following the slant of the trunk lid.

Whichever one you get just be careful how much weight you put in it. The bolts go through pretty thin plastic.

I have the Rivco and like it a lot. My choice was based on the fact that I have the center brake/turn signal lights from Custom Dynamics so I needed one that wouldn't cover up the lights.
It was very easy to install, looks good, and I've had no funky aerodynamic effects. I have the BBP 1/2 cover and it fits time although I doubt a full cover would work right. I've carried 7 or 8 lbs of shoes and rainsuit gear in it with no issues.

Show Chrome....
The show chrome from value accessories is a good value. I've had one for a couple of years now w/o any problems, 10k miles +. As Ann mentioned, don't carry anything heavy on it. 20 lb.'s max, and that could be too much. I carry things on it I need to grab quickly, rain gear, bike cover and so on. Use the blue colored 3M masking tape to cover the trunk lid in the areas where you intend on drilling the mounting holes. It helps to keep the lid from being scratched and allows you to mark the lid for drilling. Adjusting the mounting position is a little tricky. Too far forward and the rack will hit the back rest when the trunk is opened. Too far back and the center of rack will hit the trunk lid. I also ordered the chrome star washers that are supposed to give more support to the plastic trunk lid, but I didn't use them because they didn't match the contour of the trunk lid. They're a good idea but they're flat and the trunk lid is curved. After you drill the first hole the other three are easy.

Another vote for the Rivco
A couple reasons made the choice easy for me. I have a special series triple black and wanted to avoid a chrome rack. Also, I wanted a Pet Palace for our small dog. I ordered both from Value Accessories, received it quickly and had it installed the next day (I'm no gear head for sure). Well worth the price, both are excellent quality and the service was superb. http://store.valueaccessories.net/Sp...ggageRack.aspx
