i heard rumors that gearsack were the target of a shitty lawsuit that bankrupted the company due to a nimrod flipping his bike because the rack had no "maximum load" specified. I've seen a bit of their stuff online, would definately like to get a decent bag to go on my rack though...

i use my gearrack all teh time,got it for 50 bucks fitted from a wreckers, and i already had bags to go on it thanx dad...
loaded the bike up with about 40kg over the rear wheel no issues with flipping, and i still didnt lift the front wheel
maybe try find a part and see if anyone has any ones of bikes that have made friends with the road.

Hmm, well personally i've wheelies twice with pillions, once on my 750 (current bike) and once on my old ltd450 cruiser of all things!!!! Anyhow it was fun, but a wheelie from that isnt the best thing anyhow as the bike is already a bit iffy on the handling due to the increased load on the bike.
