Hi all!!
My problem is that I have an original Honda rack on my NTV650 with Honda side hardbags but the topcase rack is completely missing.
Can any of you show me a picture how it looks like? Or show me in shop or e-bay etc. because I want to copy or buy it...
Many thanks for your help!!! ;D
Regards,
Samu

Samu,
They are Hepco & Becker Panniers & Frames rebadged as "Honda". Non of the current (or fairly recent) Hepco top boxes will fit, beleive me, I've tried every one!!!! But the modern panniers WILL fit
Maybe easier to buy a Givi or something similar if you want a detachable box. ( I sold a large Givi in excelent condition with the adaptor plate on Ebay last year for £47.00 as a price guide)
Nice photos Bertrand.
Paul

Thanks for the great pictures bertrand!! Do you have closer and bigger resolution pictures about the topcase holder section? If yes, please send me to this adress: fireblade [at] vipmail.hu Many thanks in advance!  Paul! I already have a Kappa K35 topcase on my other bike, I want to use it on my Revere as well I found the Hepco and Becker homepage, thanks for your help. I'll look after how much will cost or try to copy the topcase holder. Regards, Samu |

If you'rstuck, I think I have an original spare plastic top plate. I can photograph mine (with a ruler) as well if that would help.
I dont think the rack was ever designed for anything other than "loose" luggage or a bolt down topbox.
Let us know if we can help.
Paul.

Hi, sent you PM a couple of day ago. I'm afraid I won't be able to copy the topcase rack from a picture, does anyone know anywhere a used one for sale? E-bay, or something? I try to find but with no result  Samu |

I try to find but with no result Samu It's all part of the pannier rack system & sold together, as I said I have a spare top plate that you are welcome to but you will need to make the other parts (a cutting & welding job) - I will send you some photos when I can get the NTV out of the garage.

Hi, Not been on for a while so apologies. You may be sorted out by now but if you look carefully at my bike pic which is bike of the month, you will be able to see that it is the original Honda rack/pannier frames. However, the panniers are all Hepco and Becker that fit perfectly. The tip box is also the Hepco but I bought it with a chrome fitting rack from a Moto Guzzi. It is reasonably straight forward to bolt this securely to the Honda top rack and the result is excellent. Rod
