Shad side bags with easy mount brackets, anyone running this setup ?

[donhy]

Was wondering if anyone by any chance is running shad sh36 with easy brackets instead of P3 mounting system and can provide feedback.

I'm likely going to buy them for my F3-S; later this season; though that's not much help for your question.

Here's a couple of video reviews on YouTube.

Good luck with whatever you choose!

Thanks, i found a deal on both easy brackets from a member here and brand new shad bags from ebay so im hoping to make it work. A) much cleaner look when bags are not on and B) i save money on brp shad brackets . So i was hoping someone else may have played with this setup and can send me pictures before i start drilling holes on the bags.

Both Shad Bags and easy brackets are rated at 15lbs

I have them & they are great! Much better than the cross country ones, in my opinion.

Anyone add the 35 Shad bags using the 36 mounting? Not sure I need the extra liter of space.

Thanks

Not sure why i torture my self and not go the easy route but here i start, it was lot of work just taking the existing mounts out, next step is fabricating a steal plate so I dont how to drill new holes in case i change my mind, luckly though the top two wholes of easy bracket mounts align with existing holes on the case so i would only have two drill two on the bottom but still id rather leave the case intact

So you are trying to make the Shad bags mount like the cross country ones?

Yes, basically i want to have my cake and eat it too . I did not want a F3T because of the bags but I realise i may need bags 2 or 3 times a year. I love the clean look of F3 so im hoping I dont have to live with 3P system mounts on the bike. It really is a sickness!

So has anyone mounted the Shad bags with the easy brackets, and if so do you have any tips on install or pictures.

I tried and failed Locking mechanism is one piece so when you the back apart you can no longer lock the front
