The luggage shelf was built very strongly (and consumed about half of the 40 feet of bar used) as it had to hold luggage and it serves as an anchoring point for the rest of the boattail. The shelf can hold my full weight without any deflection. The boattail is still as solid today as it was when I built it despite many miles driven on washboarded gravel roads (and a partial rebuild after being rear ended). I built it in my backyard all by my lonesome using clamps as needed to hold intersecting bars together until I could drill and tap screws into place.
