[Water Warrior 2]

I am way too familiar with Shad boxes. Have 3 on the VStrom. A 46 top box and 2 / 39 sides. The 46 is good but the side cases are junk in my opinion. A matched pair with all the same molding defects and poor fit which means extra work to mount then on the racks. The racks themselves are a horror beyond belief. A simple bolt on rack should not take a week of modifying said racks and bike to make things usable. I even had to enlist my local Yamaha dealer to use his shop for some of the mods to the rack and brackets. I thought I would save a small amount over the Givi cases and also support a Canadian distributor rather than American. Never again will I go that route. Really didn't save any $ and the stress/mods were too much...............Yup this is a bit of a rant but I would have been better off with tupperware and bungy cords.
