This video will guide you through the installation procedure for a rear rack, designed and built by Solve Product Design, for the 2022 Honda CB500X motorcycle.
UPDATE: I’ve now confirmed that this rack will fit CB500X model years 2019 through 2023.
If you're curious about my process to design and build the first prototype rack you can find a video of that here: • Honda CB500X Luggage R...
Just installed mine this morning & very pleased with the quality of the product. Easy to fit & also checked it with some of my soft luggage packs. Just the small ones for now, for a day or two away.. thanks Blair..
Just installed mine. If it were any easier I could have gotten my 6 y/o grandson to do it, I didn’t want him to cut his fingers with the knife. Looks great. Now I need a little bit warmer weather.
I just received and installed this rack on my wife's 2023 CB500X.
I've been working on, and modifying motorcycles for decades, including building ground up show winning customs.
I know quality when I see it and I know junk. This part is so well thought out, designed, and manufactured that Honda could NOT have done a better job. They wouldn't have because they're limited to what bean counters will allow.
As for people saying it's a shame they have to modify the motorcycle. For one, this is hardly a " modification". If you bought this rack from the Honda dealer and the instructions said to cut off two little ( no longer necessary ) plastic tabs you would just consider it part of the installation and trust the Honda dealer.
Would you prefer a crappy design that keeps the little plastic tabs ??
Beautiful work !!
Brilliant, just what the CB500X should have from the factory. I just placed an order for my 2022 CB500X.
Awesome. Thank you!
Such a clean fit at the. Wonder why big companies don't do it like that. It's so much nicer.
Looking awesome! I have ordered one, and are looking forward to recieve it soon. Very Nice design!
Looks really nice, mine will be here on the 11th
Very well thought-out and nicely machined design - excellent!
Thanks J Mo! Your experience with the CB500X helped convince me that this would be my perfect bike. So, in some indirect but crucial way, you helped bring this rack into existence. :)
Looks great, it's possible to mount Givi Case on this?
Wow. Amazing product design. All the brilliant heads at Swmotech couldn’t come up with something like this?
Would this fit an givi mono key adapter though? If yes, I buy one straight away
That's nice. I wonder if it fits the 2019 Honda cbr500r?
Wow, love the solution to work holding a unique shape, super surface finish. Are you making this out of 6061 or otherwise?
Yes, 6061-T6.
Hi Mate. That's a great design that allows you to keep the grab handles. Will you ship to Australia. Thanks.
I’d be happy to ship to Australia! Shipping costs can be found in the checkout section of my website after you’ve added the item to your cart and entered your shipping address. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
How much weight can it hold?
I really like this but unfortunately when you add on shipping, the difference of the CAD against the AUD plus GST it is just too expensive to buy from Australia. Hopefully one day you will have distributors in other Countries. 👍
Dove posso acquistare questa piastra ? Posso montare il mio bauletto Shad sh47?
Interesting design, I wonder did you check it with luggage. Can you do another video showing top box mounted for example or is it only for soft bag?
To be honest, I gave no consideration to mounting a top box on this rack. I personally wouldn't use one so I didn't include that in my design criteria.
Thank you for the answer
Top boxes are a highly pratical thing to have on a bike. Im a highly practical person, but gosh do i hate the look of a top box......
@@the.communist yeah I’m with you on the looks, I would use one either. Seems like it would change the center of gravity . This rack is awesome it will accommodate anything with a strap. There are plenty of opening in this rack, you may be be able to mount a box by putting a mounting plate beneath this rack and running mounting bolts through it
@@blainemcfarlane I bought one and am very pleased with fit and finish and ease of installation. When are you going to be finished with a bash plate for the 2022?
Any chance this fits the 2013 model? This looks great!
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to confirm the fit on anything older than a 2019. Would love to find someone in, or around Winnipeg with an older model CB500X to investigate.
Nice rack! How much weight would you safely recommend putting on it?
Hi Jozsef, That really depends on HOW the weight is mounted. If the load is not hanging off the back of the rack but is evenly distributed over the centre of the rack, it will handle 20 kg (44 lbs). It's never a good idea to add too much weight behind the rear wheel of the bike as it will affect handling.
Good advice. If riding solo put the heaviest part of the load on the passenger seat and the lighter stuff in the back.
Did the rack also fit on to the new NX 500 and how much Weight can you Carry?
The rack is designed to handle 20 kg (44 lbs) but the weight should be low and centred over the rack. Based on the photos of the NX500 I’ve seen so far I don’t think it will fit that bike. I have an NX500 on order and will be modifying the rack to fit as soon as I can. If you’d like to be notified when it’s ready, send me a note through my website contact page at www.solveproductdesign.com
Thanks does this fit new NX500 as well?
No, this will not fit the NX500 because the taillight is slightly different than on the CB500X. I have an NX500 waiting for me at the dealership and I'll be working on a rack for it in the next several weeks.
do you know if this fit the 2022 CB500F please.
Unfortunately not.
Hi, I have 2023 CB500X and in UK, where do I see the price and delivery options please .
www.solveproductdesign.com - add an item to the cart and once you enter your address you will see shipping options and costs (Prices are in Canadian Dollars).
How much is it and what was the web addy?
Website is www.solveproductdesign.com. You can find pricing there (in Canadian dollars). Cheers!
Is it fit to new NX500?
I don’t think this will fit the NX500 because Honda changed the taillight design. However, I’ve ordered an NX500 and have been told it will arrive in May. One of the first things I’ll be doing is looking at the rack to see how to modify it for the NX500. Send me a message through my website if you’d like to be notified when I have something available.
Buongiorno purtroppo non conosco l'inglese ,c'è qualcuno mi puo indicare un sito per acquistare il portapacchi. In italiano. Molte Molte grazie.
My best suggestion is translate.google.com. Select "website" at the top and then enter solveproductdesign.com
Je voudrais acheter le support combien il coûte ?
Est ce que vous livrer en France 🇫🇷 ?
Prices are listed on my website in Canadian Dollars. Shipping is calculated at checkout. You will have to calculate the currency conversion. Yes, I can ship to France. www.solveproductdesign.com
Жаль что в России я не куплю такой замечательный багажник.
Nice rack, pity bike needs modification.
This rack is a permanent upgrade to my new bike. The loss of the tabs is regrettable, but solved by designer. I will save the tabs, they can be welded back on if I were ever to separate the two. (NEVER)
I'd buy it if I didn't have to cut into my bike.
I didn't want to either, however the design really keeps everything tight. Literally a ten minute install start to finish. ( not counting watching this video)
