    Default Seal Rear Tote Rack

    I know Seal makes good products.
    I am only looking for opinions, observations, pros and cons, about the Rear Tote Rack,
    from owners who have used this product. Seeking info to help with my buying decision.

    I guess he hasn't sold any, doesn't speak well for the product. Hard to believe. 79 views and nobody has anything to say, that disappoints me. Maybe that's the reason for the sale price.

    Default Well....

    I don't have one but at the Red Rock event in Utah I did see them and handle them. They are good quality and easy to install and remove. Unfortunately I have an RS with my own carrier design. They did sell quite a few...

    Thanks. I found it a few days ago. Unfortunately, I do not have a hitch, and so was looking for a rack that doesn't need one.

    He,
    I just got your order, thanks. The trunk lid will stay open with the Tote on. Probably not with a load on the Rack.
    Just a reminder to all you other Spyder Lovers out there, The sale ends the end the end of the Month. Thanks to those you who have ordered. That's the way word gets out to others,

    John

    I received my order yesterday. My first impression was "damn this is heavy" I believe the platform could be made of a smaller gauge metal and still be strong enough. second was, there are no install instructions, although I'm not sure any are needed. My Spyder is in the shop right now so I need to wait until I get it back to actually install it. I'll let you know how that goes.

    Hi,
    This is a new product. I introduced it at Red Rock last Sept. and sold out. Doubled up for Spyderfest and nearly sold out again. Word of mouth takes time and not all Spyder owners are Spyderllovers.com members. Most who follow Spyder Lovers are lurkers who read but do not get involved.

    I think this is the best product I have designed since I designed the Seal Floorboard in 2010. I also have a 30 day refund on all Seal Products. Why not be one of the first to post a review on Spyderlovers.ciom.

    John, as expected you think it's a great product no surprise. I just wanted to hear other peoples thoughts after using it. I have one question that comes to mind. Can the trunk lid be easily raised while it''s installed and/or loaded up? I do realize that other factors might come into play, like what/who do you have on the passenger seat, but this looks exactly what I'm looking for. It looks like it would fit the carry bag for my CPAP machine perfectly. I only make one or two trips a year and usually have to fit the pieces in where ever I can find a hole. But it also looks like a good way to carry a chair to my granddaughters lacrosse, soccer, and softball games, also football games (one of the 11 is a cheerleader). If you put it across the seat it blocks the mirrors.

    Thanks

    Ok, I just ordered one. I hope it is all I think it will be. I have no question about quality, just usage.

    The Rack will not interfere with the third Brake Light, I have one on my bike as well.
    Kredab, I'm guessing the Suction Cups are about 2" in diameter. I too added a second strut to the top case lid, that way I don't have to worry as much about the lid coming down on the Wife's head while she is digging for her purse or brush! Ask me how I know!

    Default I bought a Rivco

    I didn't know about the one from Seal, so I can't compare. I did buy the rear rack made by
    Rivco sold by Value Accessories. I did have to drill 4 holes to mount it, so It's permanent.
    I bought it so I could mount my walker to it to take it to Spyderfest. It worked very well.
    I have the 2014 RT-S in pearl white so I bought the black one. It's beautiful but the stock
    gas cylinder that holds the trunk lid up sometimes won't hold it up.
    I ordered this rack on a Tuesday and it was on my doorstep Thursday morning.
    I am very happy with this rack. Very well made and will last for as long as I can ride.
    Rivco has an install video and comes with a template, even I can't foul this install up.
    It's $199.95
