Specifically, how is the Hondaline rack supported at the rear?
We're looking to set up one of our '93 Nighthawks for day / weekend trips, with a minimum of storage. The Lovely Z1BEBE would like to have, at least, a backrest. In a perfect world, said backrest would be integrated into a top box suitable for lightweight stuff (a couple of rainsuits) similar to that of our ST1300. Clearly, a Nighthawk box could not be the same size as that on our ST1300. She just likes to know something is back there. A security blanket of sorts.
Our ST1300 would continue to serve as our long-distance / weeks-on-the-road mount.
While browsing backrest / racks on fleabay we saw an aftermarket item that required some of the tailpiece be cut for clearance. Not happening for us, but made us curious how Mama Handa designed the rear mount for the Hondaline rack.
Could someone who has a Hondaline backrest / rack on their '91 - '03 Nighthawk please post a pic or two of how it's mounted at the rear?
Related inquiry; If anyone has an aftermarket rack / box, such as the Hepco & Becker (or any other brand) unit installed, could you please respond with an indication of satisfaction, fit & finish, etc.?
TIA.
Good Ridin'
