FAQs
Will these fit a Kawasaki Z900 Performance version?
No, these frames are specifically designed for the standard Kawasaki Z900 and are not compatible with the Performance version.
Can I use third-party side bags with these frames?
These frames are specifically designed as a dedicated fitting solution for Shad soft side bags, such as the E48 and E43 models.
Does the installation require drilling into the motorcycle body?
No, the Shad Side Bag Frames use existing mounting points on the Kawasaki Z900, requiring no modifications or drilling.
What is the weight capacity of these frames?
While the frames are very robust, always adhere to the maximum weight limit specified by the instructions included with your specific Shad side bags.
Can I leave the frames on when I am not using the bags?
Yes, the frames are designed with an aesthetic focus and can remain on the bike when not in use without interfering with the motorcycle's handling.
Troubleshooting
Bags feel loose after installation
Check that the locking mechanism on the luggage is fully engaged with the frame and verify that all mounting bolts on the frame are tightened to the correct torque.
Difficulties during initial bolt alignment
Do not fully tighten the initial bolts until all mounting points are threaded. This allows for the slight "play" needed to align the frame correctly with the bike's chassis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Shad Side Bag Frames is straightforward, requiring basic garage tools to attach the mounting points to existing points on the Kawasaki Z900.
Compatibility Note: This kit is verified for 2017-2024 Kawasaki Z900 standard models. It is not compatible with the Performance version. Always verify that your luggage is fully secured to the frame locking points before starting your engine.
Care Instructions: To maintain the finish, periodically wipe the frames with a damp cloth to remove road debris and grime. Inspect the mounting bolts every 3,000 miles or before long trips to ensure that vibrations have not caused them to loosen.
