FAQs

Are the mounting systems included with the saddlebags?

The Shad E48 SR Saddlebags themselves do not include the mounting system. You must select and purchase one of the three available installation systems separately, ensuring it is compatible with your motorcycle.

What is the total capacity of the two saddlebags combined?

The capacity is listed as 46 to 58 liters *for the pair* (2 pack). This means each individual saddlebag's capacity is approximately half of that range.

Can I use these saddlebags on any motorcycle?

These saddlebags can be fitted to many motorcycles, but compatibility depends entirely on having the correct Shad mounting system or a compatible rack installed on your bike.

How do I clean the black hardshell exterior?

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Are these saddlebags waterproof?

The hardshell construction provides significant protection against the elements. However, for full waterproofing, especially in heavy rain, it is recommended to use internal dry bags for sensitive items.

What is the benefit of the reflective elements?

The reflective elements significantly increase your motorcycle's visibility to other vehicles in low-light conditions, such as dusk, dawn, or nighttime riding, thereby enhancing safety.

Troubleshooting

Saddlebags do not fit securely

Ensure you have selected and installed the correct mounting system for your motorcycle. Double-check that all mounting hardware is properly tightened according to the system's instructions.

Reflective elements appear faded

Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays. Clean gently with a damp cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners that can damage the reflective coating.

Difficulty expanding or collapsing the bags

Ensure the zipper mechanism is clean and free of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track if it feels stiff. Make sure the internal compression straps are loosened before attempting to adjust capacity.

Water ingress

While hardshell bags offer good protection, ensure the main zipper is fully closed. For extreme conditions, consider using internal dry bags for highly sensitive items.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expandable capacity offers great flexibility for different trip lengths.
  • Reflective elements significantly improve nighttime visibility and safety.
  • Hardshell design provides superior protection compared to soft bags.
  • Comes with multiple mounting options for broader compatibility.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Requires a specific mounting system, which may need to be purchased separately or requires careful selection.
  • Installation complexity can vary depending on the chosen mounting system.
  • Hardshell design can be less forgiving in minor impacts compared to flexible luggage.
  • Capacity is per pair, so individual bag size is smaller than the total listed capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Shad E48 SR Saddlebags are designed to be mounted using one of three available installation systems. It is crucial to select the correct system compatible with your specific motorcycle model and existing frame/rack setup. Refer to the installation manual provided with your chosen mounting system for detailed step-by-step instructions. Ensure all connections are secure before riding.

Compatibility: These saddlebags are compatible with a wide range of motorcycles, provided the appropriate Shad mounting system or a compatible aftermarket rack system is installed. Check the Shad website or consult with a dealer to confirm compatibility with your bike's year, make, and model, especially concerning the required mounting hardware.

Care: To maintain the appearance and function of your Shad E48 SR Saddlebags, clean them regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the material and reflective elements. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and air drying thoroughly. Periodically check the mounting hardware for tightness and ensure the zippers and clasps operate smoothly.
