Product Information
Full details
The Shad E48 Expandable Side Bags are designed for adventure touring and daily commuting motorcyclists who need a flexible storage solution that can grow with their cargo requirements. The primary benefit is the adjustable capacity, which expands from 46 to 58 liters to accommodate a full-face helmet; however, users should be aware that universal mounting may require careful adjustment to ensure adequate clearance from the exhaust and rear wheel.

FAQs
Can these bags fit a full-face helmet?
Yes, when the bags are expanded to their maximum capacity, they provide enough space to store a full-face helmet.
Do I need a rack to install these?
You can use the universal straps included for mounting, but SHAD SR or SBH systems are recommended for a more secure, rigid fit.
Are these bags waterproof?
The bags are designed for durability and weather resistance, but it is recommended to use internal dry bags for electronics or items that must stay bone-dry in heavy rain.
How do I increase the storage capacity?
Simply unzip the expansion gusset running around the perimeter of the bag to increase the volume from 46 to 58 liters.
Can I carry these bags like a suitcase?
Yes, each bag is equipped with a convenient carrying handle for easy transport when you arrive at your destination.
Troubleshooting
Bags touching the exhaust pipe
Adjust the mounting straps to pull the bags higher or install a heat shield spacer to increase clearance.
Bag instability at high speeds
Ensure all compression straps are tightened and the primary mounting system is firmly anchored to the bike frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the most secure fit, check if your specific motorcycle model is compatible with the SHAD SR or SBH fastening systems, which provide a rigid mounting point and prevent bag sway. If utilizing the universal straps, thread them securely over or under the passenger seat, ensuring there is enough clearance from the rear tire and exhaust system. To care for your E48 bags, wipe them down with a damp cloth after rides to remove road grime. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the outer material. Store the bags in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
