Central Alberta here. Really enjoying my CB650F so far. Owner for a week. Will be mounting some Shad SH23 bags this week. Bought this bike to tour on.
Post pics when you get them installed. I ordered some this summer but they were on back-order for forever. They finally called me after weeks of waiting. I ignored them and now I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want them. When I tour next summer I may decide they're a necessity but until then I would love to see what they look like on a CB650F.
For sure, Devilsfan. I have the SH23 bags at this point. They are very nice. I just don't have the brackets. The wrong ones were ordered and the correct ones are on the way.
I have the Shad 40L top case with Shad brackets on mine. It holds my wet weather gear, tool kit and my small grip bag. When I go to work (which I've only ridden twice - Florida rain season) I've throw my backpack over my shoulders. If I had the side cases I could move everything from the top case to the side and then throw my backpack in the top case - thus nothing on my back!
Also, when you're all installed, if you can take some pictures with just the brackets on. I like the 3P system as they go with the bike's lines, unlike those Givi monstrosities!

Just bought a 2018 cb650f in Vancouver, do you still have your's?Looks like I’m the only Vancouverite here haha.
Also I’ve only seen one other CB650F this season which was at a bike meet.
