the original Sunshine Skyway Bridge had a see thru steel deck like the one pictured.  I would drive my then wife crazy by looking down thru the grating at the water below us. And yes it was rather unsettling to feel the bike wiggle and squirm as we crossed the bridge.

Makes me want to ride across just because

Put on some Depends before you cross and take a pair for the return visit !

Truly! Even the modern Sunshine Skyway is an impressive ride!

I finally have the luggage rack on the bike! It took a while to arrive, and even worse, it was a bit crooked and didn't want to fit! Thankfully we were able to bend it back and now it's on there perfectly straight. Unfortunately I also noticed a new scratch on the right side of the fairing today... The bike already has plenty of them, but this one is white and extra noticeable, so I'll have to sort that out.. But now that I can easily carry some luggage, I'm already planning a trip to Luxembourg with my brother later this month!

@Jaide,

Where did you get the rack from? It took me ages to find one and had to make the brackets myself. It works good though, enjoy your trip to Luxembourg. 
Nice roads over there .
