2023 Honda Monkey OE Rear Rack overview and install.

[@FRCB]

I’m not mechanically savvy and your video made the installation process a breeze. Thanks a bunch 🙏🏼

[@MacrossGarage]

You are welcome. It’s the reason I do it.

Bought my Monkey in June 2023 same color and have installed the T-REX center stand ( really makes things easier) and wind shield. also the Man in the Box $120 rear shocks they make a real difference in ride quality. Nice video

[@MacrossGarage]

Nice upgrades. Might consider those this year.

[@harlanpepper]

Nice - I just installed the same unit a month ago on my 2023 Monkey. Obviously it's a little limited on capacity/size, but fits the aesthetic. I strapped a Saddlemen R850 roll bag to it, which can fit a few groceries.

[@MacrossGarage]

Yea its tiny but fits well. Thats a good roll bag you have. I am not sure What I will put for mine.

[@dennishaldiman6087]

I believe that the rack is rated at 15 lbs total carrying capacity. On another channel, the guy took it off and had a brace welded on both sides to reinforce it, and it now carries his camping gear with no problem.

[@MacrossGarage]

Good to know. Thanks I will watch the video.

[@laranjiinha77]

Could you share the link for that video? Thank You!

[@1999zrx1100]

Great video, some spend more time talking then doing, this was perfect. The rack sure looks well built. Thanks 🙏

[@MacrossGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@JayyBird93]

Have you found a tail bag that fits on this rack?

[@MacrossGarage]

I haven’t bought one but another comment recommend the Saddleman r850

[@JayyBird93]

@@MacrossGarage thank you!

[@SummerEaze]

That was easier than I thought! I'm interested in adding this mod to my monkey 23. Thanks for making this vid!

[@MacrossGarage]

No problem.

[@dirtydevver]

got an aliexpress version of one of these looks virtually the same as oem, i put a givi top plate on and bought a cheap givi topbox on facebook, 46litres no issues so far - just gotta apply common sense and not overload it :D

[@MacrossGarage]

It’s a pretty simple design and should be ok.

[@joshelijames8786]

That’s a nice looking bike.

[@MacrossGarage]

Thank you.

[@owengune]

Very nice quality rack, great video

[@MacrossGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@1999zrx1100]

Just got my Monkey last month, love it, the rack looks close to the tail light, do they touch each other going over bumps etc. Think I’ll go with the OEM rack as well. Thanks 🙏

[@MacrossGarage]

I don’t think they touch. They are stationary together

[@latashamajor]

how is this rear rack holding up after a year? I am thinking of purchasing one, but see a lot of after market rear racks that seem to hold more weight.

[@MacrossGarage]

Its worked well. It is sturdy and clean. not the most space though.

[@latashamajor]

@@MacrossGarage Thank you for responding.

[@latashamajor]

I am about to order this rack, can you provide a list of the tools you used in this video? I am definitely a noob when it comes to turning a wrench. Thank you so much.

[@MacrossGarage]

You need a socket set or wrenches. I believe you need 10mm and 14mm

[@latashamajor]

@@MacrossGarage Thank you so much!

[@jamesjannell8706]

Does anyone know if someone offers a larger rear chrome rack that would axcept larger trunk or case. ? Thx. Cheers

[@MacrossGarage]

I’ve seen a few on Amazon and eBay awhile back but they weren’t that much bigger.

[@jamesjannell8706]

@MacrossGarage thank you. I will keep searching the sites out there.

[@MacrossGarage]

T-Rex has one that looks larger. Not chrome though
