BMW C400GT and Shad SH58X easy mounting

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- In this video I want to show that you can mount the big Shad SH58X top box onto the original BMW luggage carrier with the supplied base. No special brackets or base plate needed. The only thing you need are longer M6 bolts. I cut mine to size.
UPDATE 22 July 2019: After installing the back rest pillows, I can confirm that the seat will slightly touch the lower pillow when opening it. It's not by much, so for my part it's not a problem. The seat vil not touch the pillow at all if the top box is extended to the middle or top position.
Hello, I've installed it yesterday on my C400gt. Everything is fine. The silver support is the BMW OEM, not the Shad one. The shad one is black and it's a little bigger so you can open the seat with the seat pads etc... Very easy to install BTW, i did it alone in few minutes (and I'm clearly not a professional).
Ps: I highly suggest this topcase it has a great look, quiet and has a large room.
Best regards from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Did you have to change the bolts!?
Thanks for the tip. I've just installed it and it fits perfect!
Looks nice
Beautiful ♡
I have a 2022 on order in gray and can’t find anything on the shad USA site for my C400GT to order
Can’t find a luggage mount to mount a top box
So is the SHAD rack a better option than the BMW genuine one? I want to be able open the seat with the case on the rack.
I wouldn't say that. It's no problem opening the seat even if you got the backrest cushion mounted on the box with my configuration.
@@HedOpp Thank you
Hi will m6 60mm do the trick?As I have just purchased a new c400gt and ordered BMw rack and Shad box.
I notice a ram mount on your rear view mirror mounting point what size mount fitted your bike thanks.
I think 6mm will do. As for the Ram mount, it's a 9mm with a 1” ball. Good luck.
Hi I know this was posted a few years ago but I’ve just bought a C400GT and getting the BMW rack fitted this week. I’ve ordered the same Shad box, the BMW is too small and too expensive but on the rack are there spaces for the rear bolts or did you need to drill anywhere to fit? Thanks
There is no need for drilling. The only thing you need is longer bolts than those that come with the box. I hope it works out for you.
Hi, without drilling the original rack from BMW, could you still install the back rest if you had one? Last question: the top case already comes with that base plate correct? Thx! Very nice video.
Hi! No drilling is necessary. I have mounted the backrest after I posted the video. It's really easy to install. Yes, the base plate comes with the box.
Thx! I have seen other video where they drill holes in the aluminum. If that's not necessary... great! After riding for months did you have to readjust/screw the bolts again? Thx!
@@tropheuz I have driven it for three years now, and it hasn't been necessary to tighten on nuts. I have used o and a dab of blue loctite.
I bought the 2021 c400 gt and have big trouble mounting the givi topcase
Don't you need the siderams as well?
I haven't tried to mount a Givi case om mye scooter, so I can't help you there. I hope you find a solution.
Hi , those metal wings that grab onto the rack underneath, did it come with the box ?
Thank you for the video
Yes, they did. There was bolts too, but they are to short for this setup.
Thank you for your replay , i think this Box suits the bike more than the oryginal. I will copy your idea
Hi thank you for the video. I have purchased the same top box but sometimes find it hard to clip the red holder when set at the highest position. I lift the cover to the max but it is not enough to allow me to push the red clip. Sometimes it works and some other times I struggle. Does ist happen to you too?
Yes, it happens to me too. It was like that since new. I find that if I lift the cover by holding one hand in the center between the lid hinges and lift it up it up with determination and some force, it will align on both sides. That works for me anyway. That is actually the only thing that annoys me with this box. Good luck!
Can you install lights for the back of that top case?
The box is not prepared for light installation as far as I can see. If you're handy, I guess it's possible 🙂
So do you think it is posible to attach any shad case to the bmw luggage accesorie?
Yes, you can attach it to the BMW luggage carrier. That's what I have done.
Final question: is the box quiet ? It doesn’t rattle, does it ? I once had an after market box and I found it was rattling
I haven't experienced any rattle loaded or empty.
Once again, thank you for prompt response, very grateful
Do you know if Saddlebags can be installed to the C400GT?
I haven't seen anything that can fit the C400GT yet.
In some C400gt frame is black, not silver. Shoud i need to buy other frame ? Great video. Thanks. Everything was okay with your shad ?
I'm very happy with this top case. I'm impressed with the capacity and how well it suits the scooter. I bought the black top colour just because it matches my scooter colour very well. The Shad SH58X came with carbon top colour, and I think that would work with any of BMW C400 colours for most people.
Thanks for your replay. I mean handle in your c400gt is silver in my future c400gt is black and really different. Where You bought this silver handle? I want to make the same.
Sorry, I misunderstood you. The luggage carrier is a original accessory from BMW. Bought it from my local dealer.
Thanks a lot. I will check this. What about C400gt ? Everything fine with the scooter ? Are you satisfacted ?
Yes, I'm very happy with the scooter. No serious issues so far. To bad winter is coming her in Norway. The season is all to short.
Can you share topcase carrier link?
Hi! I bought it from this nett store: www.tradeinn.com/motardinn/?
Hi wats the difference between sh58 and 59。and is it look too big on 400 gt you reckon
The difference is that the sh59 has an aluminium lid cover. Otherwise it's the same. In my opinion it doesn't look too big. I rather think it suits the scooter. I'm really happy with it and highly recommend it.
Ole M Worren thanK you for kind reply. I’m in Australia and this is the worst place to buy things for bmw scooter cuz there’s only few c400 scooter so they don’t import the fitting rack. Takes about several month to order. I might just buy the shad fitting rack from China and have it ship to Australia maybe a lit bit more on the delivery cost. One more question when u install the bmw rack did u remove the storage from inside I tried the other day unscrewed some star screws but can’t take it out. But You can take the handle bar out when the storage is loose. Sry for my poor English
Ole M Worren 58x cost about 548 aud dollar. Must be cheaper in Norway hah. Oh I hate this country.
Yes, you have to remove the storage compartment. It's not that difficult as far as I can remember. You can do it.
That is expensive. I bought it from a Spanish website. You can check it out and see if that would be cheaper. www.motardinn.com/motorsykkelutstyr/shad-sh58x-top-case-carbon/136332259/p?id_producte=4365707&country=no&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9IX4BRCcARIsAOD2OB0e1NpFmm3FJnZ8v3mAk54LwMHVnwN_JI5B29678DFpyqAJ1-_KOWYaAvTgEALw_wcB
Esa caja pasa a arruinar lo bonita que esta,esa,moto!
Estoy en desacuerdo. Creo que se ve bien en la motocicleta. (Google translate)
