Which Shad trunk looks best on the C14?
« on: May 24, 2011, 01:18:58 PM »
I want one that look best with the lines of the saddle bags.
Also, how well does their silver match up with the neutron silver on an '11 C14?
One last question- do I need to get a phils rack to mount the Shad bag on?

I have the SH46 and it's big enough to hold stuff, but not big enough to look goofy.  I don't know about the match.  Mine is blue and it's pretty close.  I ordered mine from www.cycleluggage.com.  They had the best price, they're nice guys, and fairly communicative.  The problem is Shad itself.  I have the case and the plastic cover for the mounting plate, but not the mounting plate.  Shad is taking its own sweet time getting it to me. 

I don't think you need Phil's rack for the case, but I got it anyway because of the rigidity compared to the stock rack.  It's a nice piece and he'll even sell you some t-nuts to assist in attaching the case.  Personally, I wouldn't even have tried to put the case on the stock rack.

I got the biggest Shad Murph sells (50 Liter) and it is sized for the bike.  I see smaller trunks and think WHY???  Plus, I can put a ton of stuff in it.  Holds 2 helmets easily.

YMMV,

I think both the Shad 50 and SH46 look good. Since Phil posted a Shad 50 photo. I'll oblige and post a SH46 photo. Then you can pick which you think you might like!

The SH50 is a quality box that comes standard with a nice passenger backrest.  I had it mounted on Phil's rack and it was solid.

We will bring Shad back to our product line up this weekend. I have 42 and 46 liter cases in stock, and should have 50 liter boxes by the end of next week
 We were painting the panels to match Connie offerings but gave up..Its expensive and one in ten unhappy customers just ain't worth it.  Phils rack the bees knees..

Murph

OH!  I like the 46
