There are tons of good racks, bars and such for the Hondas out there and way cheaper than the Triumph stuff.



Funny you sould mention that Pat. Last night I was at a local Honda dealer bike night, so I wandered inside to their showroom. They had a VTX 1800 fully loaded with a bunch of accessories that had a full sheet of paper listing the add ons and how much they were. I couldn't believe some of the prices. A sissy bar and luggage rack was $600. The bags were leather, but they weren't that big and they listed for $750. A tool sized bag that strapped to the handelbar was $250. All told with accessories, the bike was priced at $17,500. Comparing their prices with Triumph's similar stuff, I'm starting to think we're getting off easy.

Of course when you look at aftermarket catalogs, you can get these items much cheaper for a Honda, and as we all know it's pretty much non-existant for our bikes. But comparing Honda's OEM stuff to Triumph's, I was amazed by the difference.
