Hey, nice rack!
By G. F.
Kuryakyn makes hands down the finest mass produced add-ons for motorcycles and this luggage rack is no exception. The fit and finish of their products is second to none, as well as the aesthetic considerations that go into their designs. No standard luggage rack made of chrome tubing, this rack provides flat surfaces for your gear and curves in all the right places to help secure everything. I use mine with an Ultragard luggage rack bag (I think this is a Hopnel brand)and could not be happier. The rack is sturdy and easy to attach to and looks like a million bucks.
Be forewarned that if you choose to do the install yourself and your bike is equipped with a spoiler (thereby necessitating the use of the optional riser kit) you must be very careful about the placement of your mounting holes. The legs that attach this rack to the trunk lid are angled inward and the riser kit exaggerates those angles, causing the holes to be in a different place than if you were just mounting the rack directly to the lid without the spoiler. This could spell disaster (and extra holes in your trunk lid) if you don't consider the risers in deciding where to drill your mounting holes. The rub is this: Neither the instructions included with the rack nor the riser kit address this issue. In my mind, that's inexcusable considering the potential damage and resulting cost. Furthermore, the instructions with each product approach the install a little differently which wasted my time when trying to figure out how best to handle the install.
Also, the bolts provided with the risers that are meant to be used in the rear legs of the rack are too long and require the use of extra spacers to tighten properly. This is uncharacteristic of Kuryakyn hardware that I've dealt with in the past, but it is the case here. It is the shortfall in instructions and mounting hardware that loses this otherwise stellar product one star.
The bottom line: Buy this rack . It looks beautiful and works wonderfully. BUT, have a professional install it or be extra careful doing it yourself for the reasons stated above, lest you inadvertently air condition your trunk and cost yourself a lot of extra money.

touch of class
By MKlinder
I have a spoiler on my 2008 gold wing but did not order the risers. It sits just above the spoiler and looks great. The shipping was fast, installation was not bad sense I hesitate to do my own add on, but I did and it went great and fit perfectly. It took me about two hours but anyone that enjoys doing their own add on could do it in half the time. So far everything looks great and is keeping its shine.

Nice Luggage Rack
By Bryan
One has to like the look and style to lay out that much money for the rack. It takes some thought to purchase this when you can purchase the tube style for almost 1/3 of the cost. That said, I did spend the money with no one forcing me to do so, and the rack looks great and sets well on the trunk lid. I used the riser kit also to allow more space for cleaning. Kuryakyn makes great products and sometimes you have to spend a little more money to get what you want. The matching bag sits well on the rack also.
