After contacting Ventura to see if their rack would fit on the 17 model I found out that the new frame is different and Ventura hadn't gotten around to making an updated model. Maybe something to do with Honda not importing the 2017 EX to our Southern Pacific Island brothers?? A bit of a bummer since all of my Ventura racks are now gathering dust.
Anyway I decided to go with the Hepco and Becker Alurack which would allow for a top box to be easily fitted in addition to be used as a regular tie-down point.
I ordered it from Moto Machines last Friday and it showed up on Sat. (regular USPS) how is that for quick service!
Fitment was easy and one advantage to the H&B design that I had not read about in reviews is that the rack can be moved fore and aft between 1-2 inches.
My wife did a quick tryout of the hand holds last night and told me that the outright was hitting her in her butt. Today in about 10 minutes I loosed it up and moved in back.
Nice design on the Germans part!
