SIDE bag racks for my 2014 Honda CB1100 Deluxe? - LucienLeFranc - 03-23-2026
I am struggling to find out what side racks are currently available for my 2014 Honda CB1100 Deluxe. I am finding racks for other years and models, but none that specifically say they will fit a 2014 Honda CB1100 Deluxe.
It seems like some racks that used to be made are now discontinued, such as SW Motech #KFT.01.331.20000/B
I know I may not have the luxury of being picky, but would appreciate it if anyone can tell me what options that I have for hard cases and soft bags for my bike.
On a related note: can anyone tell me if the 2014 Deluxes are unique to themselves as far as rack mount dimensions? Or does the 2014 Standard, or 2013, or the RS, or Euro 2015, or etc. have the same dimensions as the 2014 Deluxe?
I really appreciate the help! So far, I've found sourcing 2014 Deluxe side racks most confusing!

Don't know if you'd consider a top case rack, but there's a Givi for sale near me:

A couple of members seem to be hunting for side cases at the moment. (See: here)
I suspect, but can't say for sure, that hard cases may be hard to come by unless you can get stuff custom made, but you should be able to come by some generic racks that will support soft bags. That's what I did, but I haven't been able to find what I bought or where I got them. I know I bought a turn signal relocation kit from Amazon and the saddle bags in a local sale.

I'm lucky that my bike came with the Honda accessory top rack with added Givi plate and I have a top box already, so I'm good on that front.
I found a couple of siderack possibilities on WeBike. It sounds like they make them custom? But I still cannot tell for certain that they fit the 2014 Deluxe. The ad says 2013-2014 cast wheels, which fits my bike, so maybe, but I thought I read here or somewhere that maybe the Deluxe is a special case? (I don't know)
Actually, I just had a thought! I'll pop over to https://www.bike-parts.fr and check 2013-2016 part numbers for the all of the various OEM side bars under the seat and also look at pictures online of all 2023-2016 models to see if I can how unique that particular part is on the Deluxe. Maybe I'll find it's the same part on the Deluxe, 2015s, and 2016s, for example, meaning, the WeBike racks WILL fit my Deluxe. (I'll update this post with what if anything I discover.)
Hmmmm... I was going to add a screenshot from WeBike, but can't see the option to add a picture, so here's links to two side-racks purportedly made to order for 2013-2016 CB1000s with cast wheels:

https://japan.webike.net/products/25592748.html
These two are not exactly what I want, but beggars can't be choosers, and it'd be nice to at least have options even if imperfect.
OK, back on the hunt..... (updates if I learn anything).

On the information on the site, the chrome kit will fit, but the black may not. The key information is that they need to fit the EX models. From 2014 they had spoked wheels everywhere except the USA.

I realized something today: in trying to source side racks/cases, I’ve been looking at the Honda accessory rear rack that came with my bike in completely the wrong way. Instead of an obstacle to work around as I try to fit these or those side-case racks, they can actually be the beautiful solution.
The 7/8”diameter Honda accessory rear rack is a gorgeous monster--it looks and feels as if it’ll support A LOT of weight--so why not use it as part of a custom side-cases mounting solution?
Liberated from trying to figure out how to make the SW Motech, or Hepco and Becker and etc. side racks play nice with the rear rack, I instead spent $300 on $1000 worth of SW Motech clearance-sale product at Twisted Throttle today
First, I bought the cheapest clearance Trax Ion side racks ($150 on sale for $50), meant for a Honda Varadaro. While they won’t fit the CB1100, all that I want are the loops with four studs (which are the same across all the versions of the rack) that mate with the plates on the Trax Ion cases. I’ll undoubtedly be cutting off or modifying the Varadaro-specific mounting arms as part of the custom fabrication utilizing 7/8” QR handlebar clamps to connect the loops to the Honda accessory rear rack.
In addition to the Varadaro side racks, I also bought two SW Motech 37-liter Trax Ion LEFT-side cases ($444 each on clearance for $150) from Twisted Throttle, since all they had were left-side cases available.
Finally, on eBay and I bought a used and well-loved 46-liter RIGHT side case for $99, so that when everything delivers I can switch the mounting plates between the beat-up 46-liter right-side box and one of my new 37-liter left-side boxes so that when the dust clears I end up with a new set of left & right 37-liter boxes for the CB, and a used 46-liter right-side box to either resell on eBay, or keep, or Goodwill.
Feeling optimistic at the moment!
(...check back with me when everything is unpacked scattered about the garage.)

Where there is a will, there is always a way. I will be the first to congratulate when it is assembled. I can see it in my head, and you will make it happen!! David

Wow, looking forward to seeing the finished project!
