[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1288835, member: 28773"] We all like what we like. (I repeat that far too often here) I had the SHAD system on my bike and loved the box, hated the mount. The box sat too far back and too high so it did not "fit" the lines as well as I wanted. With the box removed, the flat plate with the upturned lip in front looked like I had installed the wing from a 1977 Trans Am backwards. It always looked like something was missing. Plus, it was weak. The SHAD mount did nothing for the bike's strength. I was close to ordering Garauld's stiffy kit until we put the Givi SR357 on Pop's bike. The SHAD's days were numbered as soon as I saw the difference in person. The SR357 actually looks much better without the box than the SHAD plate. You cannot go wrong with anything Garauld makes. If strengthening the subframe with no external evidence of modification is your desire, there is simply no other alternative. If a slick, nicely installed package is your desire, the SR 357 is a wonderful package that is much easier to install. [/QUOTE]
