db5304 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 If you have your center stand on, I doubt you'd get anywhere close to dragging a bag. Even without it, i'm not sure how you would drag. Although @ogri had a center stand drag and saved it in the link there (no idea how). He got pretty far over so maybe if he had side cases on although I still doubt it as they sit up so high.

duhs10 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I would like to hear from someone who has them installed because a set of SHAD cases are in my future... In the mean time.... It does look like the cases may be the first thing to touch down (assuming the below image is to scale and my logic is sound). http://i.imgur.com/PZG2CuZ.gif '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

The photo is taken at dead center at the rear of the bike so were actually actually looking down through your red line from the center rear of the bike towards a point out to the left of the footpeg. For this calculation to work you would need to kneel down and look along the same plane as the footpeg but that's a photo so no can do. Also I do have a set of these bags and they haven't hit the road yet but now you've got me wondering BLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So since you said you have a set of these cases.. i think you should go check it out and report your findings! I am very interested in a definitive conclusion. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

spicymayo Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I have the SH36 cases as well. Have you ever had one drag in a corner, or heard of it happening? I normally take them off when I know I'll be riding it like a sport bike, but I'm riding it down to the Tail of the Dragon in September, and I'll be leaving them on. I'm wondering just how far I can lean with them on. I don't think you'd come anywhere close to dragging the bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This changes the angular relationships considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member jgalloway Posted July 20, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thank you for that picture. It really puts it in perspective. I drag my boots sometimes, but never the pegs, and I have longer pegs than stock. Doesn't look like I need to worry about losing a case (or crashing from dragging one.)

dom77 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 So I am in the market for a nice set of side cases, and I have been looking at both the Shad SH36 and the Givi V35. I am leaning towards the Shad, but have a question. I have seen on different websites brackets with specific adapters for different brands (example: SW-Motech Quick-lock EVO side case racks for $325). I then went on the Shad website, and was looking at the cases and under the selection for color and gives the price $4969, it asks for bike model, and when you select FJ-09 it says add $175. Does that mean that it comes with brackets to fit the bike and I don't need the motech ones? Is there an advantage to the motech ones that would be worth the extra money (I cant really think of one). I know that there are threads on here for similar questions, and I apologize if the question has already been answered, and I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanks! Scott I got the cases + the rack back in spring from a store who also sells on ebay, the guy is located in france but the total was cheaper than from shadusa (I live in canada so there was a big shipping charge). The total for me, for both the cases and the rack, including shipping (converted to usd) was 481$.

Premium Member britelitebob Posted July 21, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted July 21, 2016 Alright already, when my peg feeler touches down I will have another 3" before the bags touch. Also my peg feelers are about an inch shorter than the stock feelers, I estimated that you may have up to an inch more clearance if your still using the stock pegs. Naturally these measurements were taken on unloaded bike so your clearance will be less depending on how much junk your packin. BLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhs10 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Dude... @britelitebob you rock!! I think the clearance for the bags will increase as the clearance for the pegs decreases. So having a load on the bike will actually provide more clearance for the bags. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member upshift Posted September 15, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted September 15, 2016 I just ordered a set of the Shad SH36s from my local bike store and they cautioned that the OEM rear turn signals may need to be repositioned to fit the bags. (it was also suggested that I should let them install the mounts, in case such a problem occurred) This sounds pretty dubious to me - it would be a rather serious glitch in the design and I've never seen anyone mention this problem on this forum or any other. Anybody mounted these bags (and the 3P mounting system) and can speak to this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
