Thanks all! This is very helpful. Mike, I will. I already know from touring how much weight I can take how high up. I could clearly over weight the large SS easily. I'll have to learn temperance. Grin. When camping I have some clothing, my tent, stove (Kelly Kettle), sleeping bag, and pad that go up there, that should all fit in with room to spare. Side wobble is my biggest concern, but I can snug the leather straps tight and with it anchored to the rack should be no worries. Carrying a load with a wimpy brain has a steep learning curve. And I have a way of taking shallow learning curves and making them steep. Grin.
The main reason I'm getting the large (over my current small) is the small is too small for daily use in the Colorado highlands. Temp swings are often 40˚F or more (today it is currently 30 pre dawn, with a predicted high near 70 with possible t-heads). So my ride today, if my brain cooperates, needs a lot of clothing options and they just don't fit in the small.
