- We're taking a red hot look at some new saddlebags, sidebags, panniers, whatever you want to call them.
I've just chucked some Shad SH23's on my 2022 Ninja 650, and here's an initial look at 'em!
I just ordered these. thanks for the inspiration
Hope you love them as much as I do!
were can i order..can please giv some advise. tnx
You might want to consider upgrading to a Z900 when you get a full license (way more power), but that’s a nice looking bike. Kawasaki have excellent aesthetics and are the best bang for buck bikes on the market. Thanks for the review as I’ve been looking for panniers for my Z900 as I’m also sick of the tail bag and wearing a backpack when touring, though Ogio that I have is good gear …
Great video man, thanks for doing this
No worries mate, appreciate you watching!
They look much better than top box, and your center of mass is lower which is also better. The only problem I've noticed is that your indicators aren't visible from side.
I agree! The kit does come with adaptors to mount the stock indicators out the back of the boxes, it's only that I've installed my silly little indicators that's the problem. Thanks for watching!
I was wondering if they have enough room for my 14" laptop..and bang! Then you mentioned it. They also seem sturdy enough to prevent theft. Thanks :) will order these.
Glad I could help! They're definitely sturdy enough, but as with anything, it wouldn't take a whole heap for a thief to rip them off with a bit of effort. For anyone else with laptop questions, I now have a 15.6" laptop and it very much does not fit that.
@@9LivesRides that's what I thought, anyway they're good for what I need. Thank you!
looks really good. any long term thoughts? been looking for a luggage solution for my Z900 and the shad system seems like the best option so far
Zero issues in all this time, absolutely love them. They've been very durable and I love how convenient they are to remove when you're just out for a cruise. Go for it. Safe riding!
@@9LivesRides nice I think that settles my search thanks. take care!
I bet these will be great for a trip up to Queensland!
I can't wait to try that theory out.
Which is why I’m here! 😂
Great review
Cheers mate!
1st of all, u r a funny dude. thanks for the laughs. Any issues with visibility of rear turn signals with the panniers? Also, I saw ur video when you lowed sided. Glad ur fine. Sincerely. whats the deal now? Did you keep the bike? Thanks and God Bless.
Haha appreciate it! The kit comes with extensions for the standard indicators so they're well seen from the back. My aftermarket indicators do get a little hidden but that's completely on me. Still got the bike, I show how I fixed some of the damage in another vid on the channel. Still loving the bike! Safe riding :)
That’s a nice motorcycle!
Beautiful motorcycle, yes!
Obscures the indicators, but look real nice.
You're not wrong, but I'm going to leave it for the time being. The fitting kit comes with extensions for the original indicators which would make it a lot more visible.
@@9LivesRides the extension you refference is great for visibility, but its looks so bad. IMO
@@nelsonfamily6791 Should have read all your comments before replying to the other ones! I agree, I guess you have to weigh up proper visibility vs how good the bike looks. I personally haven't had any issues with the slightly "stealthier" indicators.
Hey, if you were taking a trip to NY for 4 days (~8-10 hour drive), would you recommend the 36L side cases for the Ninja 650 or would that be too much?
Also did the mounting brackets come in pairs for you, they don’t specify on their website.
I think you'd get away with the 23's if the weather is going to be good and you can pack fairly light, but I'd definitely be happier with the 36's for a trip of that length. The mounting brackets came in a pair with all the necessary fitting components. Hope this helps and good luck with your trip!
@@9LivesRides Hey man thanks for responding even months after! And yeah I actually ordered it last night. How do the boxes handle drag/wind? Is it that noticeable for you?
@@user-ku1nn7nu5s So sorry it took me so long! I really don't notice any effect on the handling, even with them both full of gear. I am super aware of them when lane splitting though!
Just be mindful that unless they are directly behind you, no one can see those rear indicators.
Absolutely, I've long since come up with a solution for that. Maybe I should do an update video 🤔
@@9LivesRides Go for it... It's amazing how many bikers don't seem to realise or care about this.
hi, which 14 inch laptop that u have ? do you think if it has some soft case/sleeve will it still fit ?
Hey mate. I have a Dell Latitude 14", and I have it in this generic 14" soft case from Amazon. Fits easily in the bags with the soft case.

Where did you get the mounts for the panniers? Also can you please share the link.

Thanks for the reply. I have a custom exhaust installed in my Ninja 650. So will this mount along with panniers fit?
@@9LivesRides
@@AkashChaudharymax I guess that depends on how your exhaust is fitted and what type of exhaust it is. Does your new exhaust sit in a completely different place from your stock one?
Would these bags fit on a Ninja 400?
Is this can be fit also in Kawasaki Z500?
They would, but you'd need the mounting brackets specific to the Z500
Did you ever end up moving the turn signals?
It's on a long to-do list, so not yet!
Nice👍 How much do they cost?
In Aussie dollars, around $550. I roughly paid $300 for the two panniers, and $250 for the racks and fitting kit. Not cheap, but so worth it.
Where did you guy them from? Links?
I got them from EasyR in Australia.

Which country are you in? I got my bags from Ridge Living and the fitting kit from Easy R in Australia
US
@@amanlalani7338 Easy if you're in the US, you can order directly from Shad.

Lmao a top luggage case "looks pretty dorky."
It's why I will always ride my motorcycle but never be part of the motorcycle community. Anytime safety or practicality are involved, guys are unnecessarily prideful.
Honestly, it makes motorcyclists look more like idiots than cool. But I guess we all have our own opinions.
Can Ninja650 equip 「BEET Nassert evaluation type Ⅱ」with SH23 equipped？
