#1 | Shad SH47 datum

Shad had a pretty good sale over the July 4th weekend so I ordered the SH36 side boxes and the SH45 top box. They upgraded me to SH47 at no charge because it was in stock and the SH45 wasn't. The SH36s are on a ship bound for the US. The topbox just arrived- I haven't mounted it because the stock luggage rack hasn't arrived from BMW yet. It looks nice enough though, and holds a Schuberth R2 and a Shoei RF-800 if placed on their sides. There doesn't seem to be room for anything else with two helmets stowed- maybe some socks- and an old T-shirt as liner seems like a good idea. Overall, I'm pleased although I don't know how the bike will handle in a brisk crosswind.

This is my set-up: BMW panniers, Shad SH37 topbox and Givi XS307 15lt tank bag. I was tempted by the Shad panniers tho.10-07-2021 Hawes cropped.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Just mounted the SH547 topbox after struggling through the rather rudimentary instructions that came with it. I have to say that I won't be riding around town with this box attached- it takes too much away from the lines of this nice bike. The plastic spacers look a little flimsy too. Anyway, it'll be useful on a longer trip and now I have to figure out some way of also being able to use my BMW soft tailbag. Overall, I think I have mixed opinions about this topbox.

no topbox or tailbag improves the aesthetics of a motorcycle but I am a function over form person so usually have on my bike, especially around town when on an errand as you have somewhere to stash your helmet if shopping and to take your goods home.
