Rear Bungee Hook

[Cormanus]

Part number 90127-MCJ-750 is described as "Bolt, Hook, 8 x 42" There are 4 of them that hold the little rail (described as 'garnish') under the rear of the seat.

I use a top box and the rack to which it's attached does not allow the use of the OEM bolt as it's about 17mm too short.

Does anyone have any idea where I might get a longer version of the Bolt, Hook or even a fitting I could put over a similar sized bolt to serve the same purpose?

The rear bolt on the 2017EX (90127-MGC-JB0) is 55mm long, and is threaded about 15mm. I'm not sure if the turn signals still attach the same way; if the grab rails are removed, these may be long enough.

Thanks, pekingduck. That's a thought. The 2011 turn signals attach to the garnish and so I'd have to make other arrangements for them if I took it off. But 55mm may gve me enough length. I'll have another look.

It's also nicely chromed, compared to the other ones. bling!

That’s appealing. My other thought was to buy a bolt with an oversized head and cut a long the of tubing to sit between the edge of the rack and the bold head. It’s really just to stop a bungee slipping off. The Honda ones look good though and the extra bling would be even better.

I had a look and they’re only used in 2017- CBs, which haven’t come near Australia. I suppose I’ll have to get a Honda dealer to get some from Japan.

People commonly refer to these bolts as "Frankenstein Bolts". If all you want is a hook for a bungee cord, then how about getting a longer bolt and putting a nut on it to that the nut can be tightened against the frame (or handle) while allowing the longer bolt to extend out?

[Cormanus]

Thanks Dave. That’s a good thought too. And it’s good to know what people call them so I can search.

I bought a lot of my stuff from them in 2012 , hopefully they are still in business and they have a lot of the things you are looking for.

Thank you, Houtman. Looks hopeful.
