The majority of weight on a *low rider* is carried by the attachment to the front dropout eyelet. The mid fork attachment stabilizers the rack, levels it, but does not carry much load.
Therefore, the fork tubing is not carrying much weight. A Marks Rack would be entirely different, as already pointed out.
