2021 Side Case rack options?

[salishmoto]

I've just spent a while looking and cannot come up with a rack that fits the 2021 for side cases. We are going to use soft cases for the bike, for some trips and light off road. Anyone out there know of a rack system that fits a 21? Thanks.

I am 99% sure I am going with Shad. I like their 3P mounting system but I am going with hard cases. https://www.shadusa.com/pages/shad-products-for-honda-nc750x-2014-to-2021

I’m selling my rack and cases and I think I live local to you.

SW Motech makes a rack and soft cases for our bike.

I had to order my rack from a company in Italy. I think more places have them but a few months ago all the us dealers said they weren’t available yet.

I am also thinking along this line. (At least half the cost of OEM and looks great.) Have you ordered them yet? I have a question about fitment of the mounts.

I found it interesting that Shad did not show on their web site, a front or rear view of the bike with the cases installed. Maybe they have changed the mounts in recent years or maybe not, but back at their introduction, those cases on the NC were W--I--D--E, and seemed to be mounted unnecessarily far away from the motorcycle body. Ironically, one of the features that Shad noted is "Highly aerodynamic." It would be nice if Shad showed that rear view angle so buyers could see how they mount.

When I was shopping side case options, the SHAD 3P mounting racks were a top runner for me. They appear to 'hug' the bike much more and are barely noticeable when the bags are removed. It appears the 3P racks were changed a little for the 2021+ models?

Having all that capacity with the after market side cases be it side or top opening have tempted me to change from the factory cases for some time. But the one thing I have found to not be overlooked is the total weight and balance. Where and how much weight and aero makes a huge change to how this bike handles. I have overloaded mine with all the factory side and top boxes had a rear seat covered and a back pack 40ltr on the frunk. The center of gravity and that mass centralization that Honda designed into this bike was thrown out the window. Nowadays when I load up I pack like a ultra lite backpacker. Do not over pack even if you have the space. Keep the weight down low and central (all heavy items in the frunk). The bike behaves so much better when riding now on trips.

That the reason I just bought a rear rack for the existing top box I had stored above the garage. I leave the box off unless I need it. The frunk carries everything I kept in side cases on previous bikes.
