General topics » Shad side cases

Has anyone tried to fit the Shad23 top loading cases to r1200rs? I know that Shad claims they will not fit, but they claimed the same about my CB500X and with a bit of a shim they did fit.

I cannot directly answer your question, but I have a pair of Shad SH35 with the 3P mounting system. There is a gap between the panniers and the bike, so I suspect the SH23 will fit, using the 3P mounts, just as well. Hmmm...now I'm thinking- the only issue I can think of is that the grab handle might foul the lid. I don't have a rear rack on my bike, but here is a picture of the 3P mounts...you could guesstimate. Or if you remove the rear rack, it should be just fine.

I cannot directly answer either, but also have the 3P mounts and side SH35 cases and SH59X top case.

I went out and looked and the mount runs under the grab rails, so I think if the cases mount "outside" (and not "over") the mounts like the SH35's, you can open them, even with grab rails.

If you run with a top case and the pix I found online are accurate and the SH23's open "out" (away from bike), I think you'll be able to open them, even with a Shad top case.

Yes, I think grab handles are the problem. I had the same situation on my CB500X, had to remove the grab handles. However with RS, I need to keep the rear rack hardware.

I mounted a Shad Terra TR55 to mine. Just need to get the adapter plate.20220815_114805.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
