Luggage rack

[capttwb136_imp]

Really fast shipping! Very reasonable prices. I ordered a luggage rack from Samurider.com, they shipped it October 26, it arrived at our house yesterday! Two days from Japan. Is that fast or what. I wish I could read Japanese, it was packed in bubble wrap and a Japanese newspaper. The instructions are in Japanese too :-(. Luckily it does not appear to be complicated to install.

there might be a thread in How To on installing the rack

I have a theory that some of the old threads got messed up when Guth tried to correct the picture size problem. Then again, I could be all wet.

Go here for Honda installation instructions : http://cssportal.css-club.net/honda/MCA/MAIN010.aspx

The rack is called a Rear Carrier.

And use the How-to instructions. It is not hard to install, but you have to persuade it some. Also, put socks or tape on your turn signals and grab bars to prevent scratching.

I followed the instructions in this thread to install the Honda luggage rack and it went on quite easily. Not that hard at all.
As popgun advised (and as stated in the thread) cover anything that might scratch or dent while you're working.

And as you fiddle with the bolts and spacers and wish your fingers were 3 inches longer, keep all small children out of the area in case that language you emit gets salty....

But it does all work out in the end.

Man, I wish I would have waited to put the rear carrier on. I couldn't read the instructions as they were in Japanese. It looked really simple and it was, once you determined the correct procedure to put the rear turn signals through the rear rack. However a job I thought would take 20 minutes at best did wind up taking twice as long.

Best accessory ever. I have been enjoying mine. Let me introduce the fishing bike. It can bring home fish too with that icechest on the back...

Now you're talking, best use of a luggage rack yet!:banana:

You can buy fishing poles that break down into two or even three parts and have their own shorter case for easier carry.

No case required for one of these folding Popeil Pocket Fisherman units!

Ron Popeil was a genius (if you don't include his "Hair in a Can" amongst his major accomplishments).
