I bought one when I bought my F6B and use it all the time. After 10 Harleys, I don't get sticker shock on accessories anymore. I like the rack and feel it is pretty good quality and very stable.

I like to tinker! Making my own for less than $20.00 and my time is fun and relaxing.

So the rack doesn't come with the hardware to mount it?

Nope..........it takes two products to get it installed.....If you are interested let me know...I maybe loosing mine and it will go for a very fair price...

I asked the dealer if he could throw it in as part of the deal when I bought my bike. I knew I would use it and it's a must for long distance traveling. It's very well made and blends in with the bike well. I'm very happy with my purchase(non purchase).

If you have the deluxe it comes with what you need for the $199 dealer price. If you have a standard model then you need to but the additional mounting bracket package which was like $45 or something like that. I found this rack online shipped for $147 with an online coupon. I had to cancel the order because I needed it for a trip and the company wasn't sure if it would arrive on time. I ended up haggling with my dealer and got it for $170 plus tax.

Yep I bought one but I have the Deluxe model so the Brackets were not needed. 200 for the rack was alot. I needed the rack and use it often so the purchase was worth it for me.

[Thommoperth]

Any one got a part number for the mounting kit?

Thanks

I have the deluxe ,but the dealer still charged me $100 for brackets .I am trying to get money back as I see they over charged me .

Just looking at the pictures of the rack, what brand/type of bag are you using on the rack? All the tour pack bags I've collected over the years look like they would extend too far over the edges and rest on top of the saddlebags and scratch the paint.

Depending on the Manufacturer,,,$300 for a rack isn't real bad,,,

Takes about $950.00 to do a backrest/rack combo on a Vic cross bike,,,

Rack alone MSRP's for $450.00 :shock:

FWIW, the 2014 Vics came out yesterday. Not much different than last year, except for paint.

The Honda web site says 6 lbs :jerkit: I would really like to have a rack back there but I’m waiting on the aftermarket for a better option.
