Leon,
When I went to Baja in Feb, 2001, I carried 80 liters of fuel on the luggage
rack.  I donšt think the weight was any issue at all for the rack but having
the weight that high up really effected handling.  I could feel it when I
turned.  After a day with it on the roof, I put it in the back of my friends
truck.  I don't know if this helps but you can factor it in with all the
other vague answers you get.
