Rear rack

[samwise]

Bought myself a Honda Universal Rear Rack so that I can mount a Honda top box at some point. Instructions were for the @, but work just as well for the NX.

As standard (ignore the lump on the seat :lol: )

And the universal rack fitted, complete with luggage mounting stuff:

Just a bit thicker than the original

The only "massaging" it needed was to relieve the front a tad, as the NX mounting has a slightly raised area that the universal rack didn't cater for - all the holes are in the correct place etc.

Now all I need is a top box :lol:

Looks good...
Are those slots for a U-lock?

In other news, for those with '88 NXen looking for a rack there's an rd02 rear rack on german ebay: http://cgi.ebay.de/Gepaecktraeger-Honda-NX-650-Dominator-RD-02-Bj-91_W0QQitemZ8041623457QQcategoryZ30239QQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem

There's been some talk about the rack for the '88 being different than the '89+, but given that all the rest of the bike looks dead similar to my '89, I think it'll just bolt on...
