buy and sell » Shad Top Box and Side Luggage for 2021 R1250RS

I bought these in June 2021- Shad had a discount then. I plan to revert to my BMW soft tailbag.

a) Shad SH47 Top Box and mounting kit. Paid $260.97 (inclusive of shipping) *Very lightly used
b) Shad SH36 (White Reflector) with mounting kit: Paid: $608.98 (inclusive of shipping) *Unused

Will take $450 OBO. I don't have the original packing so buyer needs to pick these up in Champaign, IL. Pix and original invoice on request.

I dropped these items off today, at Sportland Motorsports, Urbana, IL (now World Of Powersports - BMW Motorcycles of Urbana) for consignment sale. Let's see what happens. I'm going to get OEM side boxes.

Pics would help….

Here you are..

Mostly me being finicky. I didn't like the idea of removing the OEM brackets especially on the right hand side where you have to mess with one of the bolts securing the exhaust. Second, I couldn't use my BMW tailbag (which I like very much) once I mounted the metal plate that acts as the base for the SH47 Well, I could but it involved using additional straps. Third, I had to keep tightening the screws on the metal plate- I could have used threadlocker but I was already thinking about an exit from the Shad thing. Fourth, the SH47 topbox is a bit 'pizza delivery' and takes away from the lines of the bike. Fifth, I really liked the OEM side boxes on my R1200RS and I wish I'd ordered OEMs when I bought the 1250RS. Overall, I didn't think through what I really wanted when I bought the Shad boxes and I wish I had.

End of saga! Have new OEM sideboxes. The dealer took the Shad luggage that started this thread off my hands a couple of weeks ago and I installed OEM side boxes this am (ironically with Shad stamped on them).

I sort of knew that (likely from this forum) but it became very obvious when I unpacked them. I imagined that BMW would require removal of Shad labels much like removing Aprilia labels from the '99 F650. In any case, I'm delighted with the present setup. The small things of life make a difference.

The OEM boxes just look right. Others may be cheaper bigger, more versatile fit multiple bikes etc, etc, but what a faff! Click on click off. Mine were secondhand came pre-patinered from a member on this forum and just work. If I need more space I take the car!
