How to Source a Rear Rack for a CB1100

[pekingduck]

Just an FYI for anyone looking for a CB1100 luggage rack, especially from Amazon:

There is no single rack that fits all models/years, despite what the listings might say. For the US/Canada market, there are 3 diffferent racks.
- 2013, both standard and ABS, plus 2014 standard (all black) bikes.
- 2014 DLX ABS model. P/N ends in A00, not A40 (From Honda, this kit was the 2013-2014 std rack (above) with a pair of black adapter brackets and extra hardware shown.  Honda never made those parts available separately.  I do not believe this rack was ever available from the aftermarket.
- 2017 EX models (RS models used a different grab rail, which may suggest different mounting points - beware).

The good thing about Amazon is the free return policy.  The bad is that quality may be lower, especially weld appearance.  
I've bought a couple CB1100 racks over the years from Amazon, and they were, overall, very good.  Caveat Emptor.
