Luggage mounts are the hardware that bolts your top case, panniers or sissy bar to a specific model. Shad backrests, sissy bar kits and poly mount plates sit alongside Nelson-Rigg strap kits, Giant Loop, Oxford and Rizoma fittings. Match the plate, kit and case so the load stays locked down on every ride.

Choosing the right luggage mount
The mount must match both your motorcycle and your case family. A Shad 3P pannier system, a sissy bar kit and a top case plate are not interchangeable, so confirm the model code before fitting. Shad mount plates carry their own series numbers, with the D1B40PAR plate suiting the SH39, SH40, SH42, SH45, SH47 and TR41 cases, plus the SH29 and SH34.
| Mount type | Fits | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Top case plate | SH-series cases | Daily commuting |
| Sissy bar kit | Model-specific cruisers | Backrest comfort |
| 3P pannier system | Side mounting | Touring loads |
| Strap kit | Soft luggage | Lightweight runs |
Fitment facts that matter
Hard luggage transfers load through steel sub-frames rated to carry 3 to 10 kg per case depending on the platform. Poly mount plates like the D1B591PA suit the SH48, SH50, SH58 and SH59 top cases plus the TR37, TR48 and TR55. A backrest such as the D0RI47 is matched only to the SH47, while the D0RI40 covers the SH29, SH33 and SH34. Torque all mounting bolts to the listed spec, typically 8 to 25 Nm across M6 and M8 fasteners, and re-check after the first 100 km. A correctly indexed plate keeps a loaded case within its 5 to 10 kg limit and stops sideways play at highway speed.
Secure loads, protected rider
A locked-down case keeps weight stable while your riding gear handles the rest. Pair touring luggage with apparel certified to EN 17092, from AAA abrasion-rated textiles to CE Level 1 and CE Level 2 impact armour at the shoulders, elbows and back, so both bike and body stay protected on long runs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which Shad mount plate fits my case?
Match the plate code to your case series. The D1B40PAR plate suits the SH39, SH40, SH42, SH45, SH47 and TR41, while the D1B591PA poly plate suits the SH48, SH50, SH58, SH59 and the TR37, TR48 and TR55. Check the code printed on your case before ordering.
Is a sissy bar kit the same as a top case mount?
No. A sissy bar kit like the Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 fitting adds a backrest to a cruiser frame, while a top case mount plate bolts a hard case to a rear rack. They are model-specific and not interchangeable, so order the kit made for your bike.
Can I fit a backrest to my Shad top case?
Yes, if the backrest matches the case. The D0RI47 backrest fits the SH47, the D0RI40 fits the SH29, SH33 and SH34, and the D0RI3900 fits the SH39. The backrest clips to the inside lid of the matching case only.
