A couple of these racks would block the headlight when something was placed on them, rendering the bike illegal in some states (all of the N.Eng. states at the very least). What would you do with the luggage on the rack if it rained, some states require headlights on in the rain? Wouldn't a good tank bag be a better option? Perhaps one of those bags that attaches to the handlebar brace?
I have seen similar racks attached to "farm" bikes, mostly in Australia and New Zealand (think Kawasaki 250 Sherpa) but these bikes are used to cover the large farms that are common there, and rarely see the road. Carrying any weight so high and so close to the end of the wheelbase could make handling in tricky situations even more difficult. There are better alternatives than these front racks.
