Rear rack for LS650?

I know this must have been discussed here many times but I can't find it using the search function . .

Is this the best rear rack for an LS650?

I only carry one bag, a 20 lb bag of tools.  My road-trip days have been over for 15 years.

Its not heavy duty but might work for that. Its a small platform so you will want to tie down anything bigger than a sixxer really good. Check the market or ebay if you want a cheaper one since people discard the rear accessories after bobbing their bikes.

========================

All my BMWs have either a rear rack or enough space and grab bars to tie down my tool bag.  But my Kaw and Suz don't so I wear a back pack with the tool bag inside -- not the most comfortable deal.  I rarely ride more than 50 miles, so it's not too bad.

I f you keep your bike serviced ,and you only ride 50 miles , you don't need to carry tools. ( OK , maybe a multi tool on your belt,a cell phone, and a credit card).

===============

First, off, whether I'm 20 miles from home or 200 miles from home doesn't matter that much -- I'm still stranded.

Second, 20 lbs of tools isn't much of a load -- it's less than 1 cubic foot (12 in x 8 in x 8 in roll)

BTW, I carry a tire plugger kit and CO2 gun (w/cartridges) to fix a flat.  Somehow I don't think that regular servicing will prevent flats.  Of course, if I get an LS650 with its tubed tires then that won't help me much.  But I do carry tire tools, a carryover from my youth on motorcycles when it was possible to repair a flat tire roadside . . . .
