Wife and I are thinking about going camping next weekend and was wondering about how much we can put on the rack without ruining the tour pac. We have the Air Wing pn#79179-08. Thinking 2 cots and a tent.

I don't know how much weight is ok, but I do know. If it's loaded, be careful when opening it, and don't open it all the way up. It stresses the wall on the tour pak in the hinge area. Can and will crack it.
I have a 2003 SE RK tour pak hanging on the garage wall as a reminder.
Most of them state no more than 25 lbs, as j79phan states you have to be careful with the tour-pak if you open it up you could stress it enough to crack it in the hinge area.

Red Ultra Powered By Head-Quarters 120, Easy Clutch Pull By ClutchWIZ. 2012 GL1800 Hannigan. I've yet to ride a stock Harley which wasn't in need of a mechanical intervention.
I tend to overload my rack and then use ratcheting straps to keep it from bouncing. Haven't cracked cover yet. That said, on my '04, I did crack cover. Its the potholes that get you by jarring everything violently.
If you have a receiver hitch,get a hitch rack,they can hold much more weight.Very handy.
It says right on the luggage rack, no more than 10#s. We have used double that many times. Just take the time to take off your luggage before opening.

No receiver hitch yet, scared to lose my extended warranty.
Boss decided to hotel it instead. Thanks for all the replies and advice!

My bride and I do a lot of long distance touring and we always motel it. I am not interested after riding all day in getting into a tent and sweating.

If you do ever camp ditch the cots and use an air mattress.
keep the cots ,put the air matters on top .that way u don't haft too get up off the ground.
