Product Information

Full details

The Shad SH48 is a premium motorcycle top case engineered for touring enthusiasts and daily commuters who require significant storage without adding excessive weight to their bike. Its primary benefit is its industry-leading lightweight construction, which minimizes stress on your motorcycle's frame and support structures; however, users should be aware that the 48-litre capacity requires proper mounting compatibility to ensure structural integrity at high speeds.

FAQs

Does the Shad SH48 include a mounting plate?

The SH48 typically comes with a standard mounting plate, but you will need a motorcycle-specific fitting kit to attach it to your bike.

Can this case fit two helmets?

Yes, the 48-litre capacity is designed to accommodate two full-face helmets.

Is the Shad SH48 waterproof?

The case is designed with a high-quality seal to keep your belongings protected from standard rain and moisture.

What is the weight limit for the SH48?

While the case is lightweight, please consult your motorcycle owner's manual regarding the maximum load capacity for your rear rack.

Can the backrest be removed?

The backrest is integrated for passenger safety and comfort; it is not recommended to remove it as it is part of the design package.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to insert or turn in the lock

Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant to the keyhole and work the key in and out gently.

Case feels loose on the mounting plate

Verify that the mounting bolts on the base plate are torqued to specifications and check the locking tabs for debris.

Lid does not close properly

Ensure that the internal contents are not pressing against the sealing gasket or the hinge mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Shad SH48, you must ensure you have the correct Shad-specific fitting kit for your motorcycle make and model. The case mounts securely to the plate provided in the kit. For maintenance, clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid using abrasive chemicals or high-pressure washers directly on the locking mechanism to ensure longevity. Check the mounting bolts periodically for tightness, especially after long trips on rough terrain, to ensure the unit remains vibration-free and stable.
