Well I can't find the rear carrier anywhere in the US or UK, I placed an order with partshark, but that was cancelled this morning as not available. I did email Lings and am waiting on a response regarding fitment of the crosstour carrier
The fact that the 45l brackets for the vfr are 3 part and different shape to the cross runner. Whilst the mounting holes holes will be the same the area around the back of the seat is different. Vfr one is black the crossrunner is greyish.

Thanks, I did check there and they have it for $440 shipped, that's a bit steep. although the image looks like the black carrier (08L42-MGE-800)
Lings got back to me with the alternate number (I think this is the same as 1200 carrier) which is a bit more affordable (about $300, which matches the US price). Total for the whole rear luggage set came in under $800 shipped.
I'm also getting the quick shifter which should be fun
In the US, the rear carrier is listed as PN: 08L73-MJM-A10. In the UK (and Europe?) (and Australia?) the same carrier is listed as PN: 08L71-MJM-D10. I too came up dry, trying to locate one of these rear racks. I even talked with an inside contact I had at Honda in Marysville, OH. They told me the part was unavailable. And there were none to be had anywhere in Honda's warehouse system. And the part would not be produced anymore.
I did happen to locate one at Blackpool Honda, in the UK. I ordered one, thinking to myself "The order will be cancelled as un-deliverable." I was wrong. Sure enough, they delivered. Nothing hokey about the order. They were great to deal with! It was the genuine Honda part. After taking delivery, I told Blackpool Honda how hard it was to find this part number. and asked them to check and see if they could order another one. They came back with the answer, two days ago, that the warehouse shows 6 in stock, ready for immediate shipment. So... the next six VFR owners to order this rack from Blackpool Honda are going to get a rack...
The only bad thing I will say about the rack, is it is heavy. It weighs 7.5 lbs (3.4 kg). It is cast aluminum construction. and well made. Fit and finish are great. It is just a little on the porky side. However, if you want the genuine Honda rack for a Gen 8 VFR / Interceptor, This is the rack you re looking for. I like mine.

Blackpool Honda are a very reliable supplier. I've used them many times before without a hitch and they often have good deals on parts as well.

Yes. The link in the two replies above are them. I first saw them on eBay, and actually purchased the rear carrier through their eBay store. It was then that I figured out it was Blackpool....
I messaged the seller on ebay that I bought the rear box and whole kit from to see if he will exchange it for me.
He hasnt responded.
I might have to swallow this mistake. sigh.
And I dont think they sold the crossrunner in north america.....so chances of selling this carrier are slim....
If it can help anybody : for my (pearl-white) model 2014 VFR800F (color code NH-B53P), I bought a set numbered 08L70-MJMD10. This set includes the 2 side panniers (the right one of them carrying a heat protection shield), and a set of 2 rubbers.
