FAQs
Will this fit the 2021 model Honda CB650R?
No, the KZ1173 is specifically engineered for the 2019-2020 model years.
Can I use this rack without a top case?
The rack is designed to support a top case; while technically possible to use it as a cargo anchor point, it is intended to house a mounting plate and case.
What is the weight capacity of the rack?
Please adhere to the weight limits specified by your specific top case and the motorcycle manufacturer, typically not exceeding 5-10kg.
Do I need to drill into my motorcycle?
No, this is a bolt-on kit that utilizes existing mounting points on the CB650R frame.
Are the mounting plates included?
Generally, the KZ1173 is the mounting arm kit; the required MONOKEY or MONOLOCK plates are usually purchased separately based on your case type.
Troubleshooting
Luggage feels loose after installation
Verify that all mounting bolts are tightened to torque specifications and that the specific adapter plate is properly locked into the rack.
Difficult to align rack with mounting holes
Ensure the bike is on a level surface and do not fully tighten any single bolt until all attachment points have been threaded to allow for minor adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the KZ1173 should be performed using standard metric hand tools. Before starting, ensure your motorcycle is on a stable paddock stand to keep the bike level. 1. Carefully remove the necessary trim pieces near the tail section to expose mounting points. 2. Align the bracket with the frame attachment holes according to the included diagram. 3. Torque all bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure safety. For compatibility, verify whether your specific top case requires an M5 or M7 plate (for MONOKEY) or an M5M or M6M plate (for MONOLOCK). To maintain the rack, periodically check that all mounting bolts remain tight after long trips and clean the surface with mild soap and water to prevent road grime buildup.
