    I will get a waterproof duffle bag to place on top of the rack. That would add a couple more days easily. When I'm home the rack will come off - best of both worlds. This should tie me over till I get a trailer to pull
    Sounds like a good plan.

    Those 3" wrap circles should work just fine with the suction cups. Think I'll check with the local wrapper who did mine and see about getting them cut to include in the kit. Thanks for the idea.

    I really don't think it will matter what is between the rack and the Painted surface, eventually it will become scratched. The vibration our bikes ( or anything else driving the roads) have and something not bolted/screwed to the surface wil have some slight movement, no matter how tight the strap is. Just my opinion from my own use of the rack being talked about.

    I put some small rubber bumpers over the heads of the screws that hold the suction cups on, all I can say is so far so good.

    Jon, have you "rounded" the corners on your latest versions?

    Default Custom Dynamics Brake Light

    Will your rack interfere with its visibility ? Thanks

    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

    from owners who have used this product. Seeking info to help with my buying decision.
