I'm thinking of ordering the top box 50L from shad for an upcoming 6 state tour. Presently have the bmw soft bag [ 30L ] on my 16rs and wanted to know others experiences with the shad top boxes in general. Specifically, how easy is the adapter plate I have to buy to install. The 30L to 50L would keep me from having to strap a second roll top dry bag which I think sits too high on the back seat. Thanks |

I just installed a Shad SH 39 top case on my 1200 RS about a month ago. No problem mounting the Shad adapter place to the factory rear luggage rack. It's an easy project. The adapter is a stout metal plate held by six metal spacers and bolts with a plastic composite plate that mounts on top of it. The top case is totally secure and doesn't wobble around like the factory top cases do. Shad makes top quality products and as you my already know, manufactures cases for many motorcycle manufactures including BMW.
See you somewhere down a twisty road.......

Zitat von boxter im Beitrag #3 I have the same and like the fact that it can be "slimline" at the smaller size but easy to make larger, It sits further back on the bike slightly. What I like is that I can still use my BMW soft luggage with the shad adaptor though not a perfect fit it works well Graham

Well, that plan isn't going to work for this trip. Called Shad yesterday, they won't have adapter plates back in stock until later next month after my departure. |

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #7 If you Google the Shad part number you may find somebody who has it in stock - lots of companies sell Shad stuff.
