Top box and rack
#1



I’ve finally got fed up of seventies bikes always having problems with the carbs, so bought a 2020 cb1100 ex.
Love it, looks great, rides and sounds like a proper old school Japanese four.
But…
I really want a rack and top box on it. Any ideas?

Welcome, Stod! I have a Givi rack with a Monokey plate on my '13. The rack is stout, looks pretty OEM. Here's a link:

For boxes, I have an E36NA for normal use. It's a basic box, looks vintage and matches the style of the bike pretty well.

I also have a V47 for larger items, but Givi's larger Monokey boxes, while practical, tend to look like the back half of a car.

I have a Honda rack with a Givi box. Shad makes boxes that are a lot cheaper. There are a number of different racks and top box makers. You can search around here and find a lot of options.

samurider.com and japan.webike.net are places to start. Be aware that accessories for this bike tend to be pricey.

Others will chime in I’m sure.

I used Webike! successfully on the 2014 CB1100.

Both my CBs have OEM rear racks and Givi top box with quick mount plate.

... the SW Motech Evo may have evolved into the PRO.

The PROs are awesome, off and on in seconds. They can also be quickly locked (optional) to the bike.

Welcome Stod. I have a strange Daytona rack that is little more than a sport for my Givi top case.

Thanks for the replies but I think racks that fit the early bikes don’t fit 2017 onwards bikes. I’m not great with the internet but I’ll try searching the manufacturers mentioned.
