'14 Honda Luggage Rack does not fit the '14 Deluxe

[Gumby 1100_imp]

I went ahead and bought the 2014 rack from Samurider. Excellent service from them, and the install of the rack wasn't took difficult once I figured out the Japanese directions. There are two sets of directions, and the one for the "ex" seems to be what we want. It involves replacing the brackets that hold the rear bolts with a beefier one that has two bolts instead of one holding it to the frame.

Installing the Shad SH29 didn't go quite as nicely as I hoped: there was no way to use the 4 holes on the rack and mount the top case in the correct position. I could use 3/4 of the holes, but that left the case too far forward. I ended up drilling two more holes in my brand new Honda rack .

The SH29 seems fine, but the mounting annoys me. I selected it based on Spaceman's report, but apparently it fits much better on the 2013 rack than the 2014. Additionally, it's fairly difficult to get the seat on and off, now. Knowing what I know now, I'd probably have just ordered the $500 Honda Top Case from Samurider.

Amazingly, though, the SH29 like exactly the right color red to me.

Please confirm the following for our benefit:

Bike Year:?
Bike Model:?
Rack Model Number:?

Thanks!

Pretty sure it's all up there... But it's a 2014 Deluxe, this rack: http://www.samurider.com/?p=18457 part number 08L70-MGC-N40.

I'll try to post pictures tonight.

Sorry, I don't mean to be redundant, but every bit of accurate info is one step closer to determining which rack will fit the Canadian model.

It would still seem that the '14 Canadian Grab rails are mounted at a more extreme angle than those on the U.S. '14 Deluxe.

Until some brave Canadian is willing to take the risk, my thoughts are that the '13 Rack (P/N: 08L70-MGC-A20) may be what we need to suit the grab rail angle. Our frames look closer to the U.S. '14 Base model and it still uses the '13 Rack (according to the U.S. Honda Site).

Another Issue: Depending on the model, the angle of the grab rail varies, but are the mounting hole centres still the same?
Can anyone confirm the holes centres on both the '13 and '14 Honda Racks?

Thanks
