Shad SH36 panniers owner's review 

Thanks for your long-term review, it's good to see that you are still happy with them! My 2020 Hoda CB500X has these panniers. (plus, a matching Shad 58X Top Box) I used them on a 3,500Km road camping trip last year here in Australia. Unfortunately, whilst on the road trip, I accidently dropped the bike sideways at the top of a very steep bitumen road. The bike hit the road fairly heavily. At the time the bike was fully loaded so the total weight of bike + luggage would have been around 240 to 250KG. Amazingly the left hand SH36 stopped the bike from hitting the ground to hard and saved me a lot of potential damage to the bike! I was very impressed as I really expected to find it shattered to pieces. It was then an absolute "gut buster" lifting the bike upright, as the bike hit the ground across the road, facing sideways downhill!. The bottom lower corner of the left-hand panier now has a reasonable sized dent in it, but not to noticeable and still works just fine. I can absolutely say that the Shad SH36 panniers are TOUGH! The only thing that I do find a bit difficult with the SH36's, is that when the bike is parked on its side stand (I don't have a center stand) It can be a little challenging to stop things from wanting to slide out, when packing or unloading. I could of course also remove the pannier from my fitted Shad 4P pannier frame, but then it is difficult (due to its packed weight) to lift and lock the pannier back onto the bike pannier frame. I kept everything organized in Dry Bags of various sizes. I left the panniers locked to the pannier frames the entire trip and only unlocked them from the bike when the road trip was done. I didn't have to ride through to much rain, but I did once find myself in the middle of heavy rain thunderstorm on the highway, for about 20 minutes. Everything in the panniers stayed bone dry! PS: At time of purchase, I paid $700 Australian for the SH36 set. The mounting racks to suite them (4 Point Honda bike locking system) was about another $400 AUD.

Shad do great quality stuff, Nice video Gregor!

Hello 👋 Gregor Thanks, my friend. Drive safe! Have fun every moment 🏍 Cheers, my brother

Panniers make such a difference when you go on a big trip. So handy when you get to your accomodation and remove them like a suitcase.

Nice piece of kit Mate, I have just returned from Latvia, Estonia and Sweden, fantastic places to visit. The panniers look great and are just so practical. 😎

Ja sam jednim ključem otvarao sva tri kofera, i to je super

A very honest & informative review my friend. I agree that they are stylish & a very good option for motorcycle gear. Thank you for putting this information out in hopes that it might help someone to choose which way to go when purchasing gear. Have a great day! Cheers!! Illinois

Odlično izgledaju i lijepo pašu uz motor, slični su originalnima. Gledao sam takve kupiti za V-Stroma.

Super bočni koferi, nažalost za moj jop nemaju nosače,pa čekam, na starom sam imao iste i također sam uzeo i imam još unutarnje torbe, što je super za duža putovanja 👍🔝

Zelo elegantna potovalna kovcka.

Gregor i really think you made the right choice buying them. They suit the bike very well very good size to I like them 👍🏍️😎

Zanimivi potovalni kovcki.Vsec mi je ,predvsem njihova oblika poleg ostalih pozitivnih lastnosti.

Daleko si ti od vojne boje al ok 🫡

Ali imaš tudi notranje torbe za v te kovčke? Jaz ima givi V35 NT. So tudi dobri. Imajo tudi hitrovpenjalne nosilce. Topcase imam Givi E52. Naj te potolažim, da imam jaz celo 2 ključa, enega za stranske in enega za zadnjega. Ni kompatibilno, ker je topcase starejše proizvodnje. Na splošno sem zadovoljen, le nosilec topcase je "prešvoh". Menjal v garanciji, vendar je spet počil. Pa sem ga sam potem dodatno ojačal in še malo dodelal. Stranske pa itak rabim samo za daljša potovanja, tako da dodatni ključ nič ne moti 😁 PS Tudi moj je eden spraskan, jaz temu pravim bojne rane 🤣🤣🤣. LP uroš, ribnica na dolenjskem
