Honda Rear Carrier

[Deckyon]

I wish I had enough left over when I got the bike to have gotten the honda luggage. I have been very happy with the SW-Motech I got and now that my rear plate finally came, I am very satisfied.

What sized bolts are needed for the rear luggage rack? Mine vibrated off on the freeway and it was by sheer luck that the tension held the plate in place. Lol. I am missing all 4 bolts now. I know they are 8mm allen, but the installation guide saying "Long" and "short" doesn't help me get replacements...

I had to replace a couple of mine too. I had the 2 from the other side to take to the hardware store and compare. Didn't keep a record of the size. (Sorry) The bigger problem is that there is a sleeve that goes into the hole, then the bolt passes through that. I found a piece of steel tubing at the hardware store and cut it to length. Be sure and get lock nuts and/or use thread locker.

I bought the genuine Honda rear carrier on PartsFish.com for my new to me 2012 NC700X and did know I needed the side arms and that I need to cut the plastic. Hopefully I can return it. I want to mount my Givi Monolock E450 Top Case. Thanks to everyone on the thread for the info.

Going to order the SW-Motech.

Now I have to reassemble my bike.

I like those low profile side arms. The rack on my 2016 was from Honda, but I've never seen this part anywhere. My bike was a demo used by Honda at shows.
I recently bashed my shin while swinging my leg over the bike, on the tip of the bend on the arms.
I think mine might work better for a passenger, but I've been thinking when I get a new 750 NC I won't transfer this rack to the new bike!

It's a $130.00 rip off that the OEM Grab Rails were not designed as the similar looking Carrier/Bag Bracket.
