SHAD luggage explained
SHAD builds modular hard luggage that mounts to bike-specific racks and locks in place. The SH-series top cases scale from compact 23L commuter boxes up to 47L touring shells, so capacity is the first decision a rider makes. Match the case to your trip length, then confirm the mounting kit suits your exact model.
| Case | Capacity | Best use | Helmet fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| SH23 panniers | 23L per side | Balanced commuting load | Open-face only |
| SH34 | 34L | Daily commute | 1 full-face helmet |
| SH39 | 39L | Weekend riding | 1 full-face helmet |
| SH40 Cargo | 40L | Touring with rack | 1 full-face helmet |
| SH47 | 47L | Two-up touring | 2 full-face helmets |
Choosing the right setup
Top cases sit centred over the rear and suit solo riders carrying 34L to 47L of kit. Panniers split weight low and wide across both sides at 23L each, which keeps the centre of gravity down for longer touring. A SHAD backrest, such as the unit suiting the SH39 or the SH29, SH33 and SH34, adds pillion comfort without a second purchase. Sissy bar kits, like the Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 unit covering model years 2015 to 2025, give cruisers a factory-grade mounting point. Always cross-check your make, model and year against the fitment listed before ordering, since a wrong bracket means the case will not lock down.
Luggage and rider protection
Hard luggage carries no abrasion or impact rating, so it is no substitute for protective kit. Keep your jacket and pants at EN 17092 AAA, AA or A class and run CE Level 1 or CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows, hips and back. Carbon-look panels and integrated reflectors feature across the 34L, 47L and 40L Cargo shells. Pair your luggage with a tank bag for quick-access storage or a dry bag for waterproof overflow.
Frequently asked questions
Which SHAD top case fits two full-face helmets?
The SHAD SH47 at 47L is sized to take two full-face helmets, which makes it the pick for two-up touring. The smaller SH34 and SH39 hold a single full-face helmet for solo commuting and weekend rides.
Do I need a separate mounting kit for my SHAD luggage?
Yes. SHAD top cases and panniers attach to bike-specific racks or sissy bar kits matched to your make, model and year. Always confirm the fitment listed against your motorcycle before ordering so the case locks down securely.
What is the difference between SHAD top cases and panniers?
Top cases mount centred over the rear of the bike and suit solo loads from 34L to 47L. Panniers, such as the SH23 at 23L per side, split the weight low across both sides for better balance on longer touring runs.
