Looking for a rear rack to mount my tailbag. There seems to be several offered for the'13, any favorites?

I'd have bought the OEM rack to mount the plate for my Givi Top box, but it was ridiculously expensive. About AU$450 as I recall. I couldn't get anyone to import the Givi rack so went with a Daytona rack designed specifically to mount top boxes on.

I much prefer the look of the Kijima rack over the Honda rack. I'm just not a fan of the thicker bars on the Honda rack.

Think there is silver as well, not sure if it fits 2013's.

Couple other options I found, but they're more than twice what I paid.

The price from Samurider was something like $196 US plus shipping. So yes it is a bit more expensive than other options but it's a pretty good rack. Still only rated to hold 8kg though which is about 20 pounds.

Hey Andy,
I took that little sticker off my rack and now it holds more...
That rack is built like a tank. I wonder if they are more worried about the leverage on the bolts being the limit, but I'm not a mechanical engineer so I don't know.
I figured its that or the lawyers.

I'm thinking that the weight limitations is because of where it is in relationship to the axle. Excessive weight + goosing the throttle = wheely timeLord Popgun_imp said:
$220 was the price they gave me shipped. Having a hard time with that since I went overboard on a new helmet. If I can't find something that is quite a bit less it's going to be a while. I'll just continue to tie the bag on the rear of the seat until then.AndyHe_imp said:

I went with the Hepco and Becker Alurack. Primarily for the raised grab bar, which I hope to get backrest pad fabricated.

Samurider contacted me and says the black Kimija fits the '13 model, $150 shipped.
If I carried a passenger I'd go with that H&B rack, a pad slipped over that back would be an easy mod by any upholstery shop for a padded backrest.

Son gave me the money to buy the kimija black rack for my Christmas gift. Hohoho. We'll see just easy it is to mount

gossman,
I thought I posted saying your explanation of the weight limitation makes more sense that my guess. Thanks.
Can't speak about the Kajima rack, but the Honda rack wasn't exceedingly difficult. Just be careful not to scratch up the gray rails. You may want/have to tape them or something for protection. There were threads on this a while back and may be in the How to section. I'm too lazy to look right now...

I mounted this rear rack from Fehling, which I like very much:

I have the Givi rack on back order with 'Twisted Throttle'. They were supposed to get them in a few weeks ago, still waiting. I may have to jump ship to one of these others that are in stock.
I ended up with an 'Iron Rider' bag to attach to the rack. I went with a bag so I could use it more in the off season, over a Givi type top box.

Twisted throttle has been back ordered on that rack for the last 4 months. I ended up buying a factory rack off ebay as that was the only seller with actual stock on hand.

Time to get off the pot! I cancelled my back order with TW and ordered the same rack from an eBay seller. The store is in Italy, same rack, same picture, about $35 less expensive too. Now to see how long it takes to get here.kennyw_imp said:

Ordered the black Kijima rack as first shown in this thread from SamuRider ($137, shipped) based on great reviews on the forum of their service. I already have the Tourmaster tail bag which should work nicely with that rack. Going to look at semi soft saddle bags today. Have had many hard pannier cases (Happy Trail, Pelican, etc.) on my sport tourers, but thought the soft bags would suit my current needs and the looks of our bike...and be hundreds (well, close to a thousand $
less.

Just a quick post on the bolt sizes in the factory grab bar that the rack mounts to.
Stock 8mm-1.25 x 42mm
Bolt lengths needed for the Honda rack 8mm-1.25 x 70 mm rear, 8mm - 1.25 x 90 front.
Honda does not sell the hardware by itself.

Correction to my post it was late and I cant see in the dim light as well...
8mm-1.25 thread.
Thanks Kennyw
I found the post and I stand corrected the thread is 8mmx1.25. I was using one of those cheap plastic thread gages. Ha and it was not the best light in the shop.
So the details
2) M8-1.25 x 70 for the rear
2) M8-1.25 x 90 for the front
4) 5/15 IDx5/8 od. 3/4 long spacers.
Very Cool
