Yup! that's my other obsession. It rides totally fine back there. A human passenger is WAY more disruptive than this. Weight is a non issue as its total including the "rack" is less than 30 lbs. I put MUCH more weight in my topcase on my LT...I can feel it wiggle bit on bumpy roads. X winds are a non issue. Even on I10 across TX and NM. Oklahoma is probably the only stretch I've ever had close to an issue. But that was enough wind that any moto had a problem. It sits right behind me, more or less "in my draft". I'll do 5-7000+ miles in a summer with this setup. My GF lives in P-cola FL and my brother in La Jolla CA.
I set it up the same way on my KLR when Im driving to rides in my area (Wash DC metro)
This kind of thing is fairly common in Europe but not totally unusual here.
You can buy a ready made rack here.....

Its great for a conversation starter with the sunshine day bagger dudes at gas stops! Especially running through LA while showing Virginia tags! :riding:
