Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 3P System requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard hand tools. Ensure the motorcycle is on a stable center stand before beginning. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware; however, double-check all bolts for proper torque settings after the first 100 miles of use. Compatibility is strictly limited to Shad side cases equipped with the 3P locking interface. For care, wipe down the arms periodically with a mild soap solution to prevent road grime buildup, and inspect the locking points for any signs of wear or debris that might prevent a secure click-fit.
