Just got mine today ( 4/02/24 ) so now my Monkey has the T-Rex windshield, center stand, and rear rack. These accessories are heavy duty and strong. Consider what your needs are, they are money well spent and fit and construction are excellent. They are worth the money when the bike is going to be subject to the bumps and roughness of American roads and especially off roading. Recommend the blue lock tight to keep everything from coming loose. Also installed the $120 rear shocks from Man in the box to handle more weight.
This is 4/30/24 I took the T-Rex off and the top box. The rack is to high and with a top box makes my Monkey handle worse, to top heavy. It is to heavy and to far back behind the rear axel and with the weight of the top box made my bike unstable. And could not get on my bike easily the bars get in the way of my foot swinging over the seat. Will be getting a low exhaust and saddle bags to lower the center of gravity. The lock box just makes it 2 inches higher than needed along with the mount for the top box. Just my experience
Hi! The 2 washers on the outside of the shock absorber are ment by honda to take the front mounts of an rack, etc. in between them. So the order from inside to outside will be : shock - big washer - the mount - small washer - the nut. It's designed like that to give a free play to the upper rubber bushing of the shock itself. Because the big following washer can turn relatively free compared to the mount of the rack, that can't turn. This should save the rubber a certain freeplay which is needed when the shock is working.. It's clever to spray on some silikon spray to keep it greased. Greetz, keep the shiny side up 😎
Thank you for just showing me this rack I've recently bought 2 monkeys a 2020 and a 2022 I'm old like 62yrs i don't know my way around the new world of buying online but people like you help me a lot. Thank you. 😊
I would have left the largest washer on the shock side and then put the rack on afterwards. The split part of the rack will not hold your shock on the stud properly. Great addition to the monkey my friend! Love and blessings always!
Thanks for sharing Christian! I’m curious, did you notice or get any comments that the design might obscure the visibility of the break taillights? You still happy with the fit and quality?
Thank you for the very kind words and support that you give my channel I appreciate people just like you I hope you have a wonderful day blessings from Arizona
Hello. Hows the back break light on that rack? Is the storage and the top plate blocking the break light. Is light still visible when you press the brake. Im just curious. Please let me know before I order it. Thank you. Nice channel by way. Please Keep uploading some monkey stuff. Thank you.
I have to agree even though no one else does, lol, the colour, the flat plate and the lockable squared off box is soo out of place for a retro monkey, not to mention the humongous size of it, practical, yes if you deliver pizzas or armchairs, but for me, I'd rather just wear a rucksack and say no to people asking if I will do tip runs for them! 🤭

Really Like the end look of rack. Lock box is a great feature.
What a game changer. That’s a nice rack. I see more overnight videos with the monkey. Blessings brother. Have a great week sir.

New world?
Online buying has been normal since 20 years dude.
I do like that lock box feature.... Looking nicer every vid...
Hi from snowy Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures
Ordered this rack last Friday - Arrived Today! Can’t wait to do the install.
Great video..informative and helpful 👍🏽🤙🏽
Look'n good! I think I've seen roto pack mounts can go on this rack.
That rack is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Good looking rack. Considering getting one now.
Thanks for the video. How much weight can it hold?

Thank you brotha! I appreciate you having my back. I think you're right. I'll change it. It makes sense. Love and blessings always from Arizona!
@@jiujitsu2000 Anytime my friend! Ontario Canada loves you brother!
That is a nice piece.👍👍

Thank you for your videos. I really like you. Rev

Looks like not enough clearance for the stock taillight?
I like everything about the rack except the way it slopes down, is there a way to shim it level?
I haven't had any problems with mine. at 1st that bothered me, but I got used to it and it's a really strong rack
Hello, could you tell me how many kilos the luggage rack supports?
Nice!
Thank you brotha!!
How much weight can that rack hold? Its a neat rack 👍👍
👍👏👏👏
can't wait to see attachments for the rack...no milkcrate please (like in Asia).
Thank you, in looking into a box

You can see the brake light very well. Especially at night. Thank you for stopping in!
@@jiujitsu2000 I appreciate your quick responds. Thank you so much.
@@chrisquadracer thank you! Hope it helps
Has anybody bought this rack with the optional boxes they can include? I’m wondering if they attach to the rack without straps.
check my aux tank. need a rack for my box now.
Very nice! Where you get that? I want one!! lol 😆 🤣
I had mine 50 years ago…
🐒
IF THEY DONT SELL IN CHROME . I WOULD HAVE IT STRIPED AND PLATED .
Sorry, but that looks awful . The beautiful line of the Monkey is totally destroyed !

Rack looks great.
Who's gonna see it when it's covered with bags or cases or whatever one uses a rack for? Many prefer a functional rack over a pretty rack.
Will it fit the 24 model monkey? Waited 3years ,finally for my monkey.
I disagree.i prefer flat and attachment points then round bars that look oretty
