Thanks for the pictures. It looks great. I guess now I'll be paying attention to find a cheap honda rack that I can modify. This is not on the top of my to-do list, but I know that the wife will like an addition like this. I also can see that if I use a similar trunk, it would still give me clearance for the Corbin backrest that I have. Javier.
