I have it still in the box waiting to be installed. A simple procedure on the CB1100. It's just the grab bar, no rack.
A bolt on rear carrier rack is sold as well by two companies that I know of: Kijima of Japan and as a Honda OEM accessory. Both are rather pricey in the mid to high two hundred dollars range. A third company (Givi) sells one as an integrated set of bars for the CB1100 in the same price range and I think there may be at least one or two other lesser known alternatives.
For my money, FWIW, the integrated Givi bars (shown below in the unboxed picss) are clearly the one to get because you can add a Givi Monolock top case (which comes with necessary rack mount mounting plate), which it was specifically designed for, whereas Honda's OEM with rectangular cross members may not be suitable for that purpose.
Here are some pics of what they look like (first pic is of Honda's OEM rack with no grab bar, and I believe the other pics are of Kijima's grab bar and rack respectively):
Givi's MonoKey universal mount works perfectly with the Honda OEM rack, just FYI. The MonoKey system is the nicer, more sturdy, premiere line in Givi's range (in their words).
