With that much weight, and bouncing around, the OP must have added some sort of inner bracing.

Yeah I haven't taken that close a look at it yet, but I believe that you're right- there's some bracing.  I mean really it's a plastic fender.  There's got to be some bracing or what's the point in putting it on.

TFrank59 that is one big rack you have...I don't think I have ever seen one that large. Now if you put a taller bag on and go for a bumpy road it could give you a massage........... ::)

You know it will be for decoration only, right?  That plastic rear fender can't hold over 10 pounds, and anything on the rack would be well shaken after a ride on that fender.

So, more like this?

or this.....

Well mine is not just for decoration, and it can hold well over 10 pounds.  Check out the pics on my gallery. I doubt that rack is available anymore, like I said I don't know where the previous owner got it.  The only issue with it is of course that it travels up-and-down with the fender so that's a little bit weird, but I don't care it works OK.  I'm sure I've had 30 or so pounds in the tailbag that's mounted on it plus I've had a helmet mounted to the rack behind that, and the fender wasn't stressed as far as I could tell.

If you want something a little shorter:

Or more modern:

Or there's lots here:

and

Remember, most cruiser bikes have about the same sized fenders with about the same curvature, give or take a little.  With a little persuasion, most anything made for a cruiser fender can be made to work, regardless of it's original intended purpose.  I know that with some slight modifying, the solo seat rail from a Yamaha fits a Drifter 1500.  Heck, I run around with an old Harley shovelhead tour pack, mated to a modern Harley wraparound backrest, on my Drifter every day.
