[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 92563, member: 59"] I did a quick check on my cargo load and it was approximately 105 lbs. My Vetter fairing and Hondaline bags with the rear bumper are running about 108 lbs empty (with the radio and speakers installed). Add my 240 lbs and the total weight is around 453 lbs (under the 490 lb limit! :clapping: ) I have moved my trunk back 2 inches further to make room for the wife and I, my seat is a bit heavier than stock with the extra backrests. But my distribution of weight really threw that off. The tent was all the way back and high up on the trunk rack (which did not come with these bags, I added it). If you look in the picture, I guess I really did put too much weight past the back axle: Lesson learned.......get a camper trailer!!! :hihihi: [img]https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=2046&image_id=23565[/img] [/QUOTE]
