Yesterday a box with goodies from Mr. T. arrived (very fast shipping as usual).
I fitted the chrome chain guard, perfect.
The Honda OEM engine protectors are ok but not much room to put highway pegs on if you want to do that.
I will probably put slightly bigger ones on down the road , the Over ones do not fit the DLX.
The Honda OEM rack is more of a pain to put on ,instructions only in Japanese and on the DLX you do not need the front spacers.
The worst part is that the rack was not completely "straight" I had to put longer "draw bolts " in to get it to fit.
This could be a one of thing but the company making these for Honda should do better.
I had a lot less fitting problems getting the 2013 rack fitted last year on my 2013.

CB4ME posted this a while back. I never looked at it, but it is supposed to have translated instructions.

Thank you VERY much Popgun, that was really useful as my Japanese is not so good.
Now I just need a small Japanese woman for putting things were my big hands do not fit.
To keep nuts on a wrench I put some painters tape on the back to keep them in place when having to put them behind something with not much room.

Houtman,

You have to email Takashi for the small Japanese woman...

That is a very good idea and I bet you that he will do it quickly ,shipping is no big problem for him.
He should put a nice selection of models available on his website.

That's the free gift mentioned in the shipping discount ad

After printing the rack instructions in English (thanks again Popgun)
it was very easy to put the rack on.
Best to put some painters tape on indicators to protect them .
If you install the rack I think that the English instructions are a must.
It will save you a lot of time.
This is the thing I like about this great Forum , their are plenty of people willing to give good advise.

Will this nice Japanese lady do?

I hope someone catches that before it hits the ground again!
