Carrier Rack Fitment Question

[GaryMNM_imp]

So it looks like I have an Endurance Carrier Rack coming my way however, it appears that it is listed for the 2014 CB1100EX.

I have a 2014 Std. Can any of you rack-savvy tell me if I can make this work or am I S.O.L.???

Based on the reference info, it looks like I might have been OK with a VIN#>13000001. Mine is in the 1000000 range.

Just wondering what the differences were and if I can work through them with spacers or bolts or... if I'm going to have a brand new rack in the Classifieds very soon. :-/

Thanks, I appreciate any feedback!

Here's a link to the spec's info:

Gary,

From what I have seen, the main difference in mounting racks on the EX/DLX and the Std is the angle of the Grab Rails. The Grab Rails on the Std angle upward at the back more than on the EX and DLX. The 2014 Std has basically the same geometry as a 2013.

Since the rack bolts through the grab rails, it should fit your Std, but the back of the rack may be angled skyward a little more than it would be on an EX. Some prefer that look as the rack will be further away from the tail light assembly.

If you look at the Webike ad for the Endurance Carrier Rack it states the following in broken English:
"CB1100 vehicles other than \ "EX \" if compared to the picture of the EX career a little back up installed will."

I believe that this is referring to the angle of the rack if installed on a Std.

Thanks for the feedback Gumby, that makes me feel better.

Yeah, the translation was throwing me off a bit so I was feeling a bit off (more so than usual).

We'll see how it all fairs and I'll get some pic's up once installed. I plan to have a tail bag on most of the time so that may help to make it blend, either that or make it stand out.

Thanks again.

Hey Gary -
Just installed this model on my 2014 standard. Turned out to be an easy job. Instructions were okay. You will get 2 packs of spacers. Use the pack with the 4 larger ones(you should see this on instructions) Looks great on bike.
Took my wife on cruise today & she likes not only the hand rails but the fact she doesn't feel like she'll fall off seat.
Enjoy the bike.

Thanks 68lupe. You should post a pic if you got one, or a link, I'd like to see it.
