BikeMP3 vs Honda Cargo Rack

[Ray H]

Just installed the MP3 Rack. Couldn't be happier with that choice. Looks great!

I'm really happy with my BikeMP3 rack.
Great fit, great finish and decent price.

I have a '13 deluxe - do I need any additional hardware for the MP3 rack? Or does it re use all the mounts & bolts? Also, I read on wing stuff that there are now plugs for the bolt holes...anyone seen those?

Thanks! MM

Here's a copy of the Honda Installation Instructions. Mounting the BikeMP3 is virtually the same process. The instruction address both the standard and the deluxe with the backrest.

Quite some time ago MP3 said they'd be shipping future racks with the bolt hole plugs. I'd guess that they are still doing that.

[SPGrenier]

Yes The bolt hole plugs are in with the parts kit.

The Larger of the racks is the way you want to go. I had the same problem when I went to purchase one of the two racks. I decided on the larger one. I installed the backrest and the rack at the same time. I also had the standard model and had to purchase the install kit which makes you have to remove the entire rear cap to installMYWING2.jpg. Please see you tube for removal. Not to hard to do.

A rack for a touring bike that only holds 6.6 pounds?
How much does a tourmaster bag weigh? now fill that bag with stuff you want.. maybe some camera gear?
Are the mounting holes attaching to the frame? or just body plastics?

Wompus racks (they dont have a rack for the F6B http://www.wompusracks.com/
holds up to 180 lbs !! I stood / bounced on the rack to test it no problems.

Im looking to mount a removeable trunk from Mutazu. But i need to know that the rack and bolts will support more than 6.6 lbs. 30 - 50 lbs would suffice.

I've had the MP3 rack for over a month and strap my 30-40lbs backpack on it everyday with no issues so far. I would tend to believe they say 6.6 lbs so if anything does fail its on us since we obviously overloaded it... Kinda like the capacity on a motorcycle in the first place. My fat a#$, gear and a backpack is over the limit on my VTX before a passenger...It's all about being able to deny your warranty when bearing and such wear out. My opinion anyway...

Yes, you are correct. Mfg. Warranties are all about protecting the manufacturer, not the consumer. Extended warranties are all about generating revenue for the underwriter and not protecting the consumer.
