Trunk Rack and Spoiler questions (2010 Wing)

1043 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  JJR
Would anyone know if all the different brands of trunk racks use the same mounting holes? I just bought a Wing and dont know the make of the rack (could someone ID it)? I was thinking of going with a better rack. Or at least finding a bag made for the one I have on the bike now.

Also I have installed the spoiler myself on my past GL1800's and was wondering if there is any difference between the 08 and 10 models? Will it fit with my rack? Does the inside of the trunk lid still have the dots here where to drill?

Different racks use different holes.

That rack is the BBP Rack: http://www.directlineparts.com/product.asp?pid=913&str=4

No difference between the '08 and '10 spoiler. Do not know if a spoiler will fit with this rack.
Since I bought a Kury rack when my 05 was new, and have never used any other I can't say for sure, but my educated guess would be that there are probably differences in the spacing of each of the Manufacturers racks.

The difference, if any, may be minor, and you may get away with swapping them.

When I later installed a spoiler I had to space my rack up to clear, but I don't recall it changing the hole spacing any.

The ideal thing would be to see if the rack mfg would send you a template of the mounting holes before spending the money for a new rack.
Wow. Berstien owned this? How did you happen across this up here in chicago land?

he was a hellava racer back in the day. Looking at the mileage, he did not get out much. Good luck with the new ride.
Rack and Spoiler

I have that rack and the spoiler fit just fine. Can send pics if you would like to see.
Yea was bike shopping online, I always buy used and usually not from a dealer. So I contacted Huntington Beach Honda and found that the bike had just been traded in for a 2012. The salesman said that the PO was a well know racer, they gave me a super price I could not pass up. After I bought the bike he told me who it was, never heard of him but after Googleing him WOW found he was quote a guy.

Now I want to see if I can contact him somehow and get a autograf or possibly a picture of him on the bike. I did make a copy of the title probab;y will frame it ;-)

Bike was picked up the same day I called the shippers www.funtransport.com The Federal Co the bike is supposed to be here this Tues or Wed. Cant Wait!

I just hope that Kenny did not have the bike at the stip
:?
