Luggage Rack

[Short Timer_imp]

Installed the Mr. T's rack today. For anyone contemplating it for their 2014 Dlx, it is very high quality, very solid, and installs without any problems. The instructions are in Japanese but the drawings and diagrams are sufficient and easy to follow.

If any you guys get stuff with Kanji instructions, go here for English.

And if you need to key Honda ONE-KEY cylinder, see the How-to on this board. We have pics and all!

Well, cheese whiz. They look perfectly correct in photobucket but they end up here upside down?

Even when I try to re-orient them in PB they still end up this way.

Before I post a few more can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm using all the right words :angel:

:huh: it looks ride side up to me!
I would like to see a side view if you have one.

That is the same rack that came with my top box. It is designed to fit the STD and the DLX/EX.

God knows why photos suddenly appear upside down. It's happened to me. They appear upside down on the computer and then the right way up on the tablet.

What the heck? Now it's right side up. I gotta slow down on the meds...:dodgy:

Ok, I'll post a few more tomorrow. Try to take a few better shots. Randy is correct, same rack for the standard and dlx, but some of the spacers supplied are not used on the dlx.

Last weekend, I installed the rack I bought from Mr T on my 14DLX... wil take some pictures of it and a few other farkles over the weekend too. I don't know about the previous poster, but I thought the rack was a b...h to install. It's a very high quality Honda product but it took a fair amount of straining, leverage, and cussing to get that last bolt through.

 

[Randy B]

I took all of the bolts out and then realized that "that aint gonna work", so I slid the rear ones back in without the nuts and installed the front ones first and then moved on to the rear bolts. No muss, no fuss. After I figured out my mistake I think I was done with the rack part of my install in 15-20 minutes. Then it was on to the top box and taking everything upstairs to work on the lock cylinder.

 

[ride4now_imp]

Wow!!!! That was better than what I experienced... wish I would have
thought of it.

 

[Randy B]

The dlx is a liittle more involved so I can't tell you that it would go that smoothly for you had you done it that way.

Maybe the server is in the other hemisphere (sometimes).

Well, that's the best explanation so far!
