Contacted the people at Samurider and they told me the '14 rack fits the '14 canadian model.

Let's hope so! But I would rather not have to ship a rack back to Japan if it doesn't fit the Canadian model.

I just took the following measurements of the grab rail and mounting bolts, with the bike on the centre stand on a level surface.

1) Bolt Centre-to-Centre (Straight line between the bolt centres): 7-3/16" (182mm)
2) Angle of Grab Rail: approx. 15 Degree from horizontal
3) Vertical height difference between front and rear bolt: 1-7/8" (48mm)

Can anyone with the 2014 Rear Carrier confirm if these are the same dimensions?

Thanks in advance!

Ferret, NO CHROME COVERS! Guess you will just have to sell it to me at a loss. The shame of it.

Don't forget the '13 model has actually been around since 2010. It may just be a while before they get ramped up to make the covers for a '14.

On the UK board I followed Pyramid's path to getting a Fenda Extenda for our bikes to market and it took a lot longer than I thought it would for a piece of plastic.

I'd advise that you just be patient

Has anyone tried the 2014 rack yet on the 14 models, has been no follow up on this.

So far I only know of RetroSeattle who has installed the '14 rack but it is on a '14 U.S. Deluxe which may differ from the '14 Canadian model.

He is out of town currently, but he will check the critical dimensions upon his return. That may be enough to let us know if it will fit the Canadian model...

What about the Givi SR118 case - about to pull the trigger on this chrome rack for 14 DLX

I'd bet money that it's not going to clear the taillight on the 2014 Deluxe. Feel free to buy it and let us know, but it looks like it sits just above the taillight on the 2013, and with the different grab bar angle on the 2014 deluxe, I bet the tail light is in the way, and even if you removed the taillight, the rack would slope down and aft rather than being level.

Personally, I'm not buying another rack for the 2014 Deluxe unless it's (a) clearly different than the 2013-2014 standard, or (b) you guys say it fits!
Oh, and not to mention that the grab bar width seems different. That is, if you use the spacers that stand the grab bar out from the mounting holes like they currently are, you cannot fit the rack around them. If you remove those spacers, you can, but then the grab bar will be tucked in much more...

To confirm - the Givi SR118 does not fit the 14 DLX.
