I have gone for this combination as it suits me, despite being warned against it by a lot of people who say it looks gash and vibrates loose...
anyway here's what I've done and how it looks in case it helps someone else in the future
first of all big thanks to ceoils for selling me the rack for ?20
the rack needs cutting down nera the brackets to allow you to get it on and off over the Honda pannier brackets
I also took the opportunity to add some bungee holes and 4x m6 threaded tubes for attaching a topbox/other trick fixings
I then got it powdercoated for ?10 by a local company around the corner from JAWS
then I got some titanium spacers machined up in the matching blackbird style
and this is how it all goes together, note the front fixing is countersunk for a flush finish where the pillions hand goes
by the way while I was at it I had the wheel spacers made in titanium as the originals are crap and mine are grooved already at <10K miles
hope this is of interest to someone. cheers
