@Yorky Thanks for the response and I agree with you on the fact just attaching the rack with two fittings either side wouldn't provide enough stability. I'll have a think of where else it could be attached to. Nice one for the advice.

Got my first bike around October last year and want to attach a luggage rack so I can have a topbox. The problem is, the Honda CG I have is a Japanese Nostalgia model and it is impossible to find a rack that officially fits it - they just don't exist! So I bought a cheap rack online in the hopes of somehow making it fit. It looks like I can attach the end lugs to the bolts on the seat by the chrome coil but then I have no other option to attach it anywhere else and I had a few questions. Would just the rack screwed in by coil be secure enough to hold the rack with a box on? If the rack had lugs further along, would I look to fit them on the indicator light bolts towards the back of the bike? (move indicators onto the box/rack) My thoughts are to ask my friend is try to customize the rack slightly by welding some fittings further along the rack to provide more stability, anyone tried that before? Or do you think it would work? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good stuff, will sign up now

You got a link to the fleabay racks?

Ok, i'm actually away atm but I'll be back Christmas Eve to take a pic and upload. Cheers

Ok nice one for that, i'll keep an eye for this style of rack. Thanks for the advice

That's me Fastbob! Any ideas what rack i get?

Actually not certain but done a post on here with pictures if that helps -

Hi, Looking at buying a rack to attach a top box to my Honda CG125 and wondered if there was specific size/model I needed buy? Or are racks universal and fit for all motorbikes? Any help would be great

Hi, Looking at buying a rack for my Honda CG 125, please let me know if anyone is selling?

Cheers mate!

Lovely looking bike, I really the maroon

It does look like mine strangely enough! I live in the North, around Preston ways, I wonder if it was bought and resold to me...?

That's the plan just get the error corrected on the forms and go from there

I've come to the conclusion it's the Japanese nostalgia model and i'm cracking on with sorting insurance as we speak - looking forward to getting out on it! I also spoke to Honda today and give them the bikes VIP and engine code, they said they will work on tracking down the original manufacturer and send me the manual, it will cost £30 but would actually like to own it.

Great insight

Yeah seems fine to insure so far, just classing it as CG and not a CT as it says in dvla form

Thanks, haha!

This is my conclusion.

Everything I can see says Japan, and also didn't get it from Maidstone

I've scoured the internet, and found a few answers but it mainly left me with more questions and I felt there were specific areas relating to my situations that I couldn't clear up. Just googling and finding a Honda that looks the same or one that does not from the same year doesn't really help in any way, as it's the finer details that don't match or make sense, not the general look of the bike (this can be modified or be counterfeit copy). From all the members who've already answered, it's actually pretty much given me the answers I was looking for and been very helpful. I thought the point of this forum was to ask these types of questions, am I mistaken? I don't have Facebook.

A mix of both at this point. Done checks on the person who sold it to me, but since it was my first bike, I had not idea what I would need to check prior to purchasing the bike

I've started to come to that conclusion

ME! I'm curious...

I think so too, just wanted to get some clarity to insure it correctly
