SHAD 3P Sys.HON.CMX 500 Rebel 17-18

I purchased this from Amazon Prime. Arrived the next day after ordering, well-secured. I've always preferred Shad over Givi (anything else may work but is less than average, trust me!). I will state that I owned this same model when I had my Honda CTX700 back in 2015. The 40L looks more "boxy" which fits the bike's lines much better than the Givi's, which are generally sleek but bubble-looking. This model NOW comes with a luggage rack that can be mounted on the top of the case. I wouldn't tie down anything too tight though as there are only 4 screws that hold it down...and those screws go into plastic. I'm sure if you tugged hard enough on it you could yank that thing off. This top case comes with the mounting plate so all you'd need to order is the Shad brackets. And since it comes with the mounting bracket you can secure the base to most any non-Shad rear rack. There are additional bolts that come with this for just that scenario. As for the quality - Shad is tough, durable and looks good. I bought this for my new 2018 Honda CB650F, which is a naked sports bike but has a more upright seating position. I mention this because NO LUGGAGE looks good on a sports bike! But I need something to hold my gear and, again, I like the way this 40L looks on the CB. It's boxy, not too big and serves my purpose. I can hold 1 full faced helmet (placing it on it's side) and has room for my rain gear and tool kit. The Shad 40L has a fold-out handle for carrying like a suitcase. It's an easy-on / easy-off locking mechanism. It also has a brake light and backrest option, but I have no intention on getting these items. I will add...if you plan to go with the Shad brackets I will tell you they are better looking than the Givi's. The Shad has two arms that mount on each side of your bike. That's it! Whereas the Givi's have the 2 sides PLUS an ugly bar that goes across the back of your motorcycle, either above or below your brake light. And it's hideous-looking! (But I have owned Givi cases and they're rock solid.) Finally, the Shad case I bought on Amazon was actually CHEAPER than what Shad itself sells them for!!! I even called Shad to tell them this. They didn't know why. (Ha!) So, great case, nicely designed and serves my purpose.

It was difficult finding a case specifically made for a Helix, so I found a luggage rack and had the topcase mounted to it. I'm very happy with this topcase. It stows a full helmet with faceshield and a jacket. Can also hold a few groceries. For weekend trips, It holds enough clothes and sundries for two days and releases from the rack so it can be carried like a suitcase. The small luggage rack on the top is good for easy access to a light jacket or raingear. Overall, it was a great choice!

Nice looking box, but despite being a universal topbox for motorcycles, the mounting was a nightmare. Had to improvise using another piece of metal to mount it on my BMW s rack. For that it gets 4 stars

Good quality, pretty straightforward assembly and depending on which bike you are fitting it on, the supplied universal mounting bracket is ample. I fitted this to a ‘14 Vstrom 1000 and opted to try out the universal mount before ordering the bike specific mount. With minimal drilling I was able to make it work perfectly. Looks and operates great, locking mechanism seems pretty adequate and it’s super easy to take on and off. The ability to bungee mount additional gear on top is awesome. Highly recommend!

Best box for the buck. You can buy a base and share it on a second motorcycle so one box is enough if you have several bikes.

This is not precisely made for the scooter we own, Aprilia Scarabeo. So with some imagination (putting screws upside down) we were able to install the base of the case into the scarabeo railing. That took some ingenuity, not SHAD fault, but it was the most affordable case for our budget so we decided to make it work. Other than that case is pretty sturdy and easy to operate.

i need a 10-32 fender nut that was missing. one there was wrong size thank you

I bought the case to mount on my honda xr650 without knowing that a top case mounting adaptor was required. Shads' web site calls them "Topmaster Kits". After deforming the mounting plate and some of the hardware and finally figuring out something was missing, several vists to Shads' website and emails later some replacement parts were on the way. The top case itself (SHAD SH40CA) looks very sturdy and very well built, and I'm sure that when all of my parts have been put together properly, I'm going to be a satisfied customer.

Il SHAD SH40 è un bauletto da moto compatto e funzionale, con una capacità di 40 litri, ideale per contenere un casco integrale e altri oggetti. Robusto e leggero, offre un design elegante e un sistema di chiusura sicuro. Facile da montare, è perfetto per chi cerca praticità e stile nei propri spostamenti quotidiani o nei viaggi.

Never heard of Shad until a friend put them on his bike. Great price and quality was very good for the price. Universal fitting plate worked well with my F800s carrier although I had to buy separate nuts and bolts as the included bolts were too short although good quality. Size is exactly right for me takes s full face helmet and other items like gloves and scarf. Size looks like the right dimension for my bike and I wouldn’t want anything bigger. Not so sure the cargo piece is good for bungy cords or tying down anything but it helps open the lid and looks good. Shad branding is a bit big and is my only negative consideration.

Geen goede kwaliteit zoals altijd van dit merk

Schnelle Lieferung. Ich habe vor 4-5 Jahren schon mal das gleiche Topcase gekauft. Das alte erscheint mir wertiger zu sein.

Nice box made of thick not flimsy material once the plate is secured it feels firm and quite able to carry what I need, Water tight and stylish product and not as costly as givi
