    Thumbs up And installed-------

    Rack went all easy enough----- but the drill templet holes are short by 1/4" ( you bet it makes a difference). So be sure to mark the holes in the rack on the templet in place. I also adjusted the rack up about 1/4" to let the high mount brake light show a bit better. It's all good---- rack stays up just fine and will hold the few pounds ( 2 rain suits and a 1/2 cover, which still fits fine)easily.

    Very nice. I'd be afraid to scratch it by using it.

    Looks great! Is there a load rating so you don't crack any plastic? Looking for something like this just worried.

    Default Load rating on Rivco rack??

    Rob,

    The instructions from Rivco say the limit is 12 pounds. Two rain suits and a half cover won't even make half the limit and that's all I plan to put on that rack.

    It is shiny ( safety chrome!!!!) I did give the chrome a coat of paste wax and a quick polish to help seal the chrome surface( it does rust )

    Looks great. I might have to look into one for my rain suit and cover storage. Will the cover fit over the rack?

    Rivco is now supplying the chrome version ( guess it's not updated on thier site). Give them a phone call, they handled it very nicely.

    I like the black one better than the chrome. I wonder if it's still available.

    Well pretty sure, just go to www. Rivcoproducts.com and check them out. more expensive than the tube style rack but the Rivco product has its advantages.

    Installed mine (but in black) two days ago and I had the same problem with the template holes. E-mailed ValueAcc. and they said they'd tell Rivco of the problem next week.
