How is the rack mounted? It might just get in the way, or it might also connect to the brakes, or otherwise be an earlier step. Would it affect how you route the cables? It may also share the lower mount points with the fenders (mount the rack to the inside, and fenders to the outside, I think). So, perhaps mount rack, then fenders.
Bar wrap is the last thing to do, and I often ride the bike a couple of times before wrapping the bars.
you must be checking the Magic 8 Ball because these are all of the concerns I have (honjo fenders / vo racks front & back) and the added interest of not scratching my paint. the rear wheel slides so far forward to get into the drop I will need to deflate the tire a bit to get the fender nut into the chainstay bridge.
in any event, everything fit before, so it must fit again!
thanks for the encouragement.
