Re: Honda Top box...

From WhiteNoise - "I still have "that" Re-called Honda rack on my scoot. (I do not own a top box). I like the looks of my metal rack. However, I would love to see a photo of Honda's Replacement, but I haven't seen a pic of it anywhere. Is it metal or have they gone plastic? Re-call notices keep coming. I file them.
If Honda would allow us to pick one up from them, while handing over our faulty one, then I would "Make that Change." But no....they want to take mine and install the new one."
I did go through the procedure to get the replacement rack. It looks exactly the same as the first one - metal not plastic. No idea what was "improved" - probably the anchor points for the Honda top box.
Since I purchased the rack in the USA and took it to Thailand, I could not do a swap at a dealer. I brought the rack back to the USA and traded it in directly with Honda Powersports Since no dealer had installed the rack we had to do it by mail. They sent me a prepaid mailing label, I sent mine back, they sent a new one, I carried it back to Thailand.
I had installed a top box, so the rack was available for this swap. The rack is now on a friends bike.
