SW Motech crash bars arrived yesterday. CalSci windshield arrives on Monday. Shad side cases should arrive the following week. Then I'll be ready for my first trip to the NC mountains on the FJ on June 11.

Installed 2nd power outlet and hand guard lights.

Added lights to my Shad SH48 top case.

Shad SH48
 

 

 

 

 

 

Also installed a fuse block and permanent GPS mount.  I can't even tell you how much I am going to like having a permanent GPS mount, it was a pain in the neck screwing on the RAM ball every time on the old bike.
 

I installed my GPS yesterday as well. Used the OEM FZ-09 mount. For power, I just used posi-taps and tapped into the leads for the power outlet. Works great! 

It looks like a nice top case. How's the quality? Fit and finish? I've so close to ordering the set (panniers and top case) from Shad. Was it an easy install? 
Any additional pics would be fantastic.
 
Good luck with customer service! Keep us in the loop.
-thanks!

Quality is great. I've owned Shad cases for years. I even had one do a "get off" at 70 mph in Asheville once because I failed to make sure that it was properly seated on the mounting plate. Case remained closed and no damage other than the road rash that you would expect. I installed it on the OEM Yamaha rack using the included hardware.  I had to trim the metal brackets in order to get them to work.
I'll get some more pics up later.
 

Shad SH48 top case arrived yesterday. Too bad they sent me the wrong color (silver instead of titanium) and they didn't include the carbon top plate that I ordered. Guess I'll find out how good their customer service is come Monday.
