I just got my first Honda in years. The CB 1100 Deluxe - and it is fantastic!
I purchased a Givi SR1118 rear rack. The supplied mounting instructions are vague to say the least. I cannot get it to line up in the front and rear holes left after removing the tail light assembly bars. Has anyone installed one?
After a few emails with customer service at Givi, they are telling me that I'm basically a dope, and that it should fit easily. If anyone can provide an explanation, or photos of a correct install I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks very much!

PS - if you know of an alternative to the Givi, other than the Honda OE please tell me.
Pedro K,
I don't believe that the Givi rack was designed for the 2014 Deluxe. The grab bars are at a different angle (shallower) and the rack is likely to interfere with your tail light as a result.
As far as I know, the Givi rack will only fit the 2013 or earlier models, plus the 2014 Standard and the 2014 Canadian model which all have the grab bars and bolt hole locations at a greater angle.
I'm not sure what you don't like about the 2014 OE Honda rack, but it looks good on the 2014 Deluxe and I have seen it for less money than the Givi.

Thanks for the quick reply! I have nothing against the Honda OE rack at all. I was just under the impression that you could only get one from Japan, or something like that. I'd definitely get the OE. Is there an online source that anyone knows of so I can get one ordered? Or, do I need to go through my dealer.
