Product Information

Full details

The Shad Side Bag Holder is the definitive luggage mounting solution for Kawasaki Z800 owners (2013-2017) who require a secure and reliable way to carry gear without the bulk of traditional rigid luggage. Designed specifically for semi-rigid side bags, this kit offers an ideal balance between touring functionality and the bike's aggressive naked aesthetics; however, it is strictly limited to Shad's own bag series, meaning it is not compatible with third-party or hard-case luggage systems.

FAQs

Can I use this with other brands of side bags?

No, this holder is specifically engineered for Shad E48 and SW42 semi-rigid side bags.

Does this kit fit the Z800e model?

This kit is designed for the Kawasaki Z800. Please verify your specific subframe configuration as it matches the 2013-2017 standard model.

Do I need to remove the passenger grab rails?

Depending on your specific exhaust and accessory configuration, some minor adjustments may be needed; always consult the included manual.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the black powder-coated finish is designed to withstand typical road weather, including rain and road grime.

Will this holder cause damage to the bike's plastic fairings?

When installed correctly, the system includes stand-offs that ensure the bags or the frame do not rub against the motorcycle plastics.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty aligning the mounting holes with the frame.

Loosely install all bolts before tightening any single fastener; this provides the necessary play to align the kit perfectly.

Visible vibration during riding.

Verify that all installation bolts are fully tightened and check that no spacers were omitted during the initial setup.

Bags feel loose when attached.

Check the connection points on the E48/SW42 bags for debris and ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Custom fitment ensures no modifications to the motorcycle frame are required.
  • Maintains a slim profile that complements the naked bike design.
  • Provides significantly more stability than strap-only luggage mounting systems.
  • Durable black finish is resistant to corrosion and weather elements.

Cons

  • Compatible only with Shad E48 and SW42 side bags.
  • Not suitable for universal or hard luggage systems.
  • Requires mechanical competence for proper installation.
  • Available only in black, which may not match all custom color schemes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the K0Z883SE kit requires basic mechanical hand tools and should take approximately 45-60 minutes. Because it mounts directly to the Kawasaki Z800 chassis points, ensure that all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to prevent vibration loosening. This kit is strictly compatible with the 2013 through 2017 Z800 model years. For maintenance, periodically inspect the mounting bolts for tightness after long rides. Keep the frame clean of road debris and salt; a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient to maintain the powder-coated finish.
