Portapawl Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Hey Guys and Gals, Its my first post and I thought I'd share my recent Shad 58x top box installation. I did not like the SHAD rack or the SW Motech as much as the Yamaha OEM rack, so that complicated installation slightly. But as you can see from the photos, It can be done! I had to buy a few more bolts and washers than what the SHAD box came with, but I think the end result is quite nice. Post with 0 votes and 2 views.

Just a bit oversized for my liking, but if it works for you, it's all good. I need one about ½ that size. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoAl Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Good job! LOL love the bottom left photo - make that case look like a 200L instead of a 58L. I've thought about a small one for a helmet, like the Yamaha rack better and your mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife and I can go somewhere casually, put both of our helmets in the trunk and a jacket in each side pannier. That leaves two people without gear to haul around when we walk around at our destination. Hard to understate how nice that is. If you want a bit smaller though, I would go with the Yamaha OEM top boxes for this rack. They have a smaller ones (35L and 50L i think) that are meant to pair with this rack. They look decent, and you can get a backrest with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithQ Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 39L and I think Givi also offers the same sizes, 39L and 50L. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
