Looking good Frulk!
I have the rack too. The only thing I wish is that the mounting hardware had the pegs like the originals.

Yeah, options are almost unlimited. I have a top case on mine but I seen (and I'm sure you have) some pretty cool cases, bags, duffels and even a milk crate on there!

guys pick up some of the small ROK straps and you can strap anything on that rack. Far superior to bungies and they won't fall off.
ROK Straps
Here is a rain suit rolled up and strapped to my small rack.

Check out you local canoe / kayak shops for waterproof duffels and other small bags. I also picked up a waterproof "map case" (messenger bag sized that closes completely without a shoulder strap) with snaps that fastens directly onto my Honda luggage rack. Is waterproof.
SW-motech make some excellent waterproof duffels for bikes.

Have the Honda rack (Thanks Ole) and Rok Straps. They combine for a secure and comfy ride for my growler. :beerchug:

I like that OEM rack on your bike picture. You should get lots of service out of it.
Put that Honda rack on my Black Beauty today. My lovely fiance bought it for me which makes it extra, extra special. It was from her and it was free! I like free.
Some drama though. The box arrived damaged and missing mounting hardware and instructions. I called the dealer and they quickly ordered a second rack and drop shipped the mounting parts to me as well as a link to the instructions in PDF format, all in three days after I called.
As a side note, not to go off subject, much, but whew the installation was interesting. That tip I read ages ago about putting socks on my turn signals was invaluable! Getting the bolt and bushings to line up was fun, anyone who has done this knows what I mean. I wish I had used electrical tape around the handle holes because I did do a small paint nick when the bushing slipped a bit during that previously mentioned interesting part of the install. I torqued to spec (on those instructions) and it is a solid piece of work. I like. Yes I do.
But it sure looks great, a perfect fit and I like the way Honda designed it so it matches the curve of the bike's lines front to back, kind of like a small bow in the middle. With the rack the bike looks more complete frankly. I always was thinking it was too big for the bike in pictures I have seen but after putting it on I am thinking not.
I'm also thinking a small bag and a small tent package will tie down now that I have all that flat space on the back of my seat and going all the way back almost to the taillight.
Thanks to whoever did that "how to" on installing this OEM rack. It helped a lot.

BTW, stop me if you know this already.
There are two different EOM Honda racks. Samurider has pictures for both. Look closely at the two Samurider provided pictures and the racks are physically different.
The one that only fits on the STD has the cylindrical cross members. It also excludes hardware to mount to a DLX.
The one that fits both models has flat cross members and comes with optional extra fittings for the 2014 red heavier DLX bike. It is slightly more expensive. It has instructions to mount this to the STD or DLX bikes.
I ended up with the one with flat cross members and extra mounting hardware and since I won't be using the topbox mounting plate then this one is best for me to lay bags on without the plate.

It's not that easy to find the luggage racks on the Samurider site. They have a bike sub-section for CB1100 DLX/EX but don't have one for the STD. However, illogically, STD parts are listed down in the DLX/EX section. Also, the rack is buried in the "body part" sub-sub-section.
If you use their search function for luggage rack it comes back with nothing.
To save others the trouble of finding them, here are the two links:
STD:

DLX/EX (also fits STD)

postoak, is it right that the DL/EX rack can be used with the STD? Doesn't look like it to me.
