(12-07-2015, 04:16 AM)Duffy_imp Wrote: Thanks Popgun. That was very useful. Seems I misunderstood two important facts in researching the purchase of rear carrier and Honda OEM Top Box. (1) the fact that the 2013 rear carrier will not fit the 2014 CB1100, and (2) the requirement that the OEM Top Box and Mounting Base/Plate are designed only to fit on the 2014 carrier.

What escaped me was that the 2014 rear carrier WILL fit on the 2013, but not vice versa. Doh!

So I have this nice looking 2013 rear carrier on the bike, but will have to fabricate a base plate to fit on the rack. The mounting holes on the 2013 rear carrier aren't even close to those on the steel mounting plate for the Top Box, and the steel mounting plate can't simply be drilled so it will line up with those holes.

To avoid my mistake, if you own a 2013 CB1100 and want to purchase the Honda OEM Top Box from our Japanese friends, you need to purchase the 2014 ("N40"), instead of 2013 ("J20") rear carrier.

I think Mr. T avoids this problem by selling only the "package" including Top Box and rear carrier. When ordering from Webike, you can order these parts separately, and I thought (wrongly) I had to order the 2013 rack.

Lesson learned...

Sorry to dig up an old thread but does anyone have instructions on mounting the top box bracket? I have no idea how the metal or plastic brackets attach and cant seem to locate instructions. Thanks!

Maybe these will help. You don't really need the text. Don't remember where I got these, maybe from PB?

According to the Samurider site, the box is the new version for 2014 and is for "Fits: Honda CB1100/Deluxe/EX -2014" I don't think you will have a problem, but you can place the box on the rack and look. I took a look at the instructions on the Honda site with them and you should be easily able to see if all is well using the exploded view.

There are a number of people here who have the Honda box, but most likely all or most have the one before yours. Mr. T only lists one that I can find, so personally I think you are good.

A word on the One-Key cylinder. You get one chance to not mess it up. We have a How to with translated Honda instructions and pictures in the How-To section. I've done 2. Its easy. But read the instructions on it first and be sure it is right before locking it in the cylinder.
I took mine to a locksmith who did it in ten minutes for ten dollars. Hardest part was getting the lock out of the box and back in right.
Lord Popgun, I sent you a PM. Instructions are in Japanese, but the pictures are all the help anyone needs.
