I designed this rack for my 2022 Honda CB500X motorcycle. I wanted something simple and light that blended beautifully with the styling of the bike. I also wanted to maintain the original passenger grab handles since they already provide tie down points and are strong enough for picking up the bike if it goes down. Rather than mounting a rack above the plastic panels, this rack replaces the rear centre cowl, giving it a very integrated, “stock” appearance.

If you just need some extra surface area to tie down some soft luggage, or to extend the passenger seating surface to support a duffle bag, this rack works beautifully.

*Note 1* Please note that this rack will require trimming of two mount tabs on the factory plastic side cowlings. Once bolted in place, the rack captures the plastics to prevent them from moving. I recommend watching the installation video prior to ordering this rack.

*Note 2* Import duties, taxes and other charges are NOT included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
