Hi wise people, I have just fitted a Fehling rear rack to my 2017 ex. The rack says it’s rated to about 5kg. The box I intend to fit weighs about 4kg.
So I can only carry one glove and a packet of crisps before I go over the weight limit. My question is, is reality different to the sticker? Do I actually fit a box or just use a cargo net? If I carry two gloves will the rack break off and kill me, or worse, scratch the bike? Will the RLETS that took me under two minutes to fit compensate for the puny rack? Do I just look at the rack and polish the chrome? Should I just be thankful that I now have a better handle for heaving the bike on an off the centre stand? No photos because it’s dark, the bikes locked in the garage and there’s no lights in there and I’ll wake the bike up if I start waving a torch around. I thank you in advance for the expected responses.
