Just checking in, I've used the renntec for a couple of months now, and it isn't the best rack by any measure.
A couple of the welds broke, and the metal pieces that mount to the bike bent until they were stopped by my motorcycles plastics and rubbed against them, scratching them in the process.
Unfortunately I don't have access to a welder and I need this rack to work, so I jb welded them together with fiberglass wrapped around the joints to try to reinforce the joints. This is my first weekend where I'll test it to see if it'll work.
I don't recommend this rack unless your gonna load <5lbs on it
Edit:
I forgot to add, I added a metal rod where the rack attaches to the bike to help support the bracket and take pressure off of it
