Put on a front rack waiting for the center rack (also a MotoSkill) to be delivered. Well made rack.

Looks great, it'll be handy to have.

I have the same rack, and I'll probably pull the trigger soon on the center rack as well. It's the best front rack setup available, IMO.

I installed my Moto Skill center rack today. I will take pics tomorrow.
I am thinking what type of bag for the center rack, I want something thin so I don't have trouble getting my leg over it.
I would like to see what you guys and gals have on your center rack!

What do you put on the center and front rack? I’d like to see some examples

I have a front rack with a spring on it, I clip my hat under it while riding, will sometimes use it for holding mail or folded paperwork. When parked I clip my gloves under it so they don't blow away. I have seen that some people mount a tank bag or a center bag on the center rack. I usually travel light for things like moto camping, but if you needed to bring more things and have them accessible that seems like a good spot for them. My center rack mostly serves as protection from my boot marking up the plastic when swinging a leg over, and a place to set things when loading up. I have been looking at molle options to strap a liter size Nalgene to it, but will likely mount that to my crash bars instead.

Carry some elastic bungee cords to fasten on whatever you find. Animal skulls will, of course, be popular

@SomeGuyRides had a small Apache case bolted to his front rack. Johnny Pow had a small dry bag bungied to his. I thought about putting the toolkit there, but the toolkit is heavier than I'd want to have with that weight up front. Anything light and something you'd want to keep your eye on seems like a good choice. Bicycles have a similar front bag that can be purchased and common items are a hat, extra gloves, paperwork, sunscreen, snacks, wallet/money, etc. Something I'd have to seriously think about, particularly with that Motoskill rack, is that the front bag usually comes off the bike and with the rider on a bicycle, so something that can be quick release removed and taken with the rider has serious potential to be a grab-and-go bag. Ortlieb has a waterproof front bag that goes with this mounting bracket to achieve that result, for example. There's a DIY version that you can make with a quick release harness that could also be made a little fancier. Lots of possibilities.

For the center rack, there is a dedicated mid-bag that you can buy. Again, SomeGuyRides and J-Pow both had tank bags they modified to go into that space. I don't think you could use it for while-riding nav with a full face helmet at least, because the bottom of the helmet would mean you would have to look VERY far away from the roadway to see what you're doing. I think if there was a lockable case that fit in the mid-space, that would be a very viable option for stashing a toolkit there that's left on the bike semi-permanently. On my bicycle I have a bidon style tool carrier which is mounted to the underside of the downtube serving the same purpose.

EDIT: on the subject of the front bag - with the suspension being soft on the front, you'd think that electronics would probably fare well on the front bag. It's 50-50 from what I've heard; the shaking and vibrations are enough to kill some small electronics, to the point that maybe you don't want to stash a drone there, but some people have and it worked out ok.
