Hi All,

I am planning a big ride in the spring and am thinking about a luggage rack. I am hoping to leverage the vast knowledge and experience offered by this community. So, a few questions,

1. Any recommendations? I two types, tubular that sit on an angle and flat that sits parallel with the street. Anyone know of any others?

2. I use a half cover at night when traveling to keep rain, droppings, and the curious away at night. The cover fits pretty tight and is secure. Does anyone with a luggage rack use a cover and if so, any issues or brand that works best?

All responses are greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!
