Rear "Bumper"

[Doubletap]

Hey Gang, I have a question for ya. I'm in need of the measurements of the rear "bumper" that ties into the saddlebag rails. I'm adding rails and lost my measurements for this piece to make one (bike didn't have one when I bought it evidently). Measurments needed are length of all straight runs of pipe ie, from clamps to bend and across the back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is item #19 in the fiche, still available from Honda. You will also need 2) #17, 2)#18 AND 2) #48.

Back in the day when rails were unobtainable, I used to wonder if you could
still order them part by part... since people (me) were paying $700 for sets
when they could find them...

I assume you are correct and that they are still available part by part... cool...

I might have read that wrong. Depends on whether you need the connecting piece for the saddlebag mounts or the protective rails.
