it looks like I bent frame a little on my st1100

If anyone wants one of those racks, and is close to me (shipping is $$$$ right now) let me know offline. I'm in the Las Vegas area. Still have my new never installed one.

Apologies for the thread hijack, should have started another...
 
They break but weld easily. I used O/A for the one I fixed, but if my present bike ever breaks I'll add a plate to reinforce.

This is the Ukraine frame. It attaches under the seat as well as where the handholds were. Its a pretty good thing to have! I use it for touring and moving ladders around boston for paint jobs.

Would love one of those for my 1300
 
I think the question is not only in weight, but in arm - distance, where this weight is placed. As longer an arm, less weight is needed to damage rack.
 
I think welding plates to a new set before even installing them would be the way to go. Not every 1100 has that problem but its more than a few.
 
Mine broke a few years ago, at the end of the 2020, if I recall correctly.

It didn’t take long to pull it from the bike and even less time for my neighbour to weld it up and reinforce it.

Probably took longer to drink the beer…
