Phil -
If you have one of the original type heavy duty luggage racks, I'd
suggest getting it re-chromed.
The newer OEM ones are smaller and lighter than the originals and, IMO,
just don't look the same
nor are they capable of handling as much 'luggage' (or whatever) that you
might strap onto them.
I've had occasion to have to convey a huge rubbermaid container weighing at
least 75 lbs. on my
luggage rack and it does the job just fine - I'd be afraid of bending one
of the newer racks.
