Honda NX500 / NX400 Luggage Rack (2024-2025)

Description

*** This luggage rack is currently out of stock but I have raw material on hand and will be making more very soon. Shipments should resume around the end of April. I’m still accepting orders, but if you’d prefer to be notified when they are back in stock, please send me a message here and I will let you know when they are available again.

When the Honda NX500 motorcycle was released in 2024 I started to get a lot of emails asking if my CB500X luggage rack would fit the new model. Since there were no NX500 bikes available yet in Canada I decided to put my name on the waiting list. When it arrived at my local dealer I decided I had to take it home. There were some slight changes to the rear centre cowl above the taillight so it was obvious that my old rack would not fit the new bike. Once the snow fell I managed to find time to design a new rack for it. Like the original, this new NX500 luggage rack is designed to be simple and light and to blend beautifully with the styling of the motorcycle. It maintains the original passenger grab handles since they already provide tie down points and are strong enough for picking up the bike if it goes down. Rather than mounting a rack above the plastic panels, this rack replaces the rear centre cowl, giving it a very integrated, “stock” appearance.

If you just need some extra surface area to tie down your soft luggage, or to extend the passenger seating surface to support a duffle bag, this Honda NX500 luggage rack works flawlessly. However, if you would prefer a top box, there are universal mounting plates available from most suppliers that can be mounted to this rack as well. That might require some longer hardware and possibly some backing plates or oversized washers, so be prepared for a trip to the hardware store if a top box is what you are planning.

Note that this rack will require trimming of two mount tabs on the factory rear side cowls. However, the rack captures those plastics to prevent them from moving. I would suggest watching the installation video prior to ordering this rack.
