I have a front rack and sometimes an acorn rando bag on the front of my rom and hilsen. If you overweight it then steering gets "odd" but you have to really add a bunch of weight, in my experience. I think you'll be fine. Having said that - if you feel like getting a new lowtrail fork made for your rom and want to tell us all about it when it is done, please feel free :) -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
