Added new Honda Travel Rack (2014 DLX)
#1

Just ordered this rack from Samurider last week, showed up in 5 days. Apparently no longer in stock domestically (US).

Just test fitting here:

Replacing rear garnish bracket on both sides:

Lining up forward mount hole hardware, rack, flange spacer, garnish, OEM spacer... Trick is to leave everything loose until ALL bolts are in position.

This was a bit of a PITA - Turn Signal housing interferes w/rear bolts. Figured out how to lift the rack up enough to clear those and start the bolts into the openings:

All bolts loosely installed. Time to snug everything down!

...and we're done!

Nice job Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
I have the Honda rack on my 2014 and it looks just like yours - and it went on pretty easy due to the fitting instructions posted here by one of the members down under in Oz land.
I apologize for not remembering his name.

With any luck, maybe he'll get a chance to use the other m/c (in front of the blower).
