serious rear rack?
I'll have some down-time with no travel this fall, so I'm thinking it's time to repaint the travel bike. It's been mickey-moused with rustoleum ever since I had S&S couplers installed, it'll be nice to have it looking first-class again.
So, it'll be a good opportunity to get some braze-ons brazed on! Who makes the best rear rack for long-distance riding? I know a bunch of you use trunk-bags, I see 'em all the time, and since I have a chance to build-to-fit, I'm going for bulletproof

I bought this based more on user reviews since I have yet to take it on more than a weekend long camping trek...

I vote for the racks at www.bgcycles.com If you can afford the rack you might be able to get Bruce to add any needed braze-ons.
