Not to sidetrack my original thread any further but I think this needs clarification. The conventional wisdom is that the Givi mount (i.e. the SR357)adds some extra support that the stock rack does not. Not in overall individual strength (steel vs. aluminum) but rather in it's connection with...

Understood. i looked at the rack on my '09 and it appears to attach at all the same points that the Givi SR357 does. Now, ignoring the fact that the Givi is steel and the OEM is aluminum, why aren't they both transferring the exacy same load stresses to the subframe? How is the Givi different.

So you mounted your Shad plate to the Givi rack? Any pics and was there much fitting or drilling involved?

That same concern should also extend to the OEM box and mount and the Givi E228 mount as well, no? I am in agreement that the SR357 is a better option and the Shad plate might bolt right up to that, not 100% sure, maybe with a couple additional holes drilled. But, odds being what they are, I...

Yup, already thinking about it...

To sweeten the deal how about 10% off your entire Shad direct order just for asking nice (and signing up for the Shad Forum)? I can get you an e-mail address........ ;)

This is my 2009 sporting the gloss black SH50. The color is a nearly perfect color match right down to the little sparkles in the paint. Great case and (I think) an excellent complement to the rest of the bikes aesthetics. Thanks to all the find folks at SHAD! I have now had the opportunity to...

Very timely thread. I am just about to do a quick write-up of my new SH50. Here's a few pics from today:

OK, I'll pile on. My '09:

Offering my VGC genuine Yamaha touring windshield. $70.00 PayPalled and shipped CONUS. A couple marks on the lower left front.

Final answer FWIW is that this part does not take this product well at all. Splotchy and ugly. And (thankfully) no penetration into the metal at all. Steel wool easily removed all traces so back to stock and back on the bike.

I am going to pick some up today and let you all know, in another thread, how that goes.

Pinned my side cases.

Interesting, with that info I'll have to recheck mine. Perhaps it does do something. Dumb question I know but you have moved the rear seat support to accommodate either the high or low seat height setting, correct?

I am not so sure that you absolutely 'need' that piece. I have considered it a bit more of a guide than anything else. In fact it fit so crappy on the upper setting that I took it off completely and tucked it away in a storage area. I have moved two different seats from high to low on a few...

Hey, just a quick aside on the Wynpro (which I have and also like very much so far). I have seen pics of many that folks have painted black but has anyone ever tried a product like the Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black on one? Aluminum Black I am thinking about it...

The one under the seat or at the back of the tank? If it's the tank one I am not sure just how necessary that is.

Change of plan, Sorry.

Installed my shiny new black Shad SH50 top case and it's bee-you-tee-ful...
