What's up all! I thought I'd share some pics of my newly-installed top case, rack, and 3P holder on the CB650R. TL;DR: It all fits well, but I had to order the parts from overseas and if you have a fender eliminator, the turn signals are so snug as to be pushed down slightly. You can see in the third image that the signals are slightly pushed downwards, but no effect on operation.
Everything went together fine, with exception of the clearance of signals due to the fender eliminator. I had to use an extra spacer to get it to fit even that tight. I'm happy with the final result...yes it does mess with the lines of this beautiful bike. However for those commuting on the CB650R, that top case will be a huge benefit as you can now store your helmet and other gear in a secure and dry manner.
I bought the parts at following locations:
1) 3P rack: https://bikeluggage.co.uk/products/honda-cb650r-shad-3p-pannier-fitting-kit-h0cb69if
- good vendor, prompt shipment!
2) Shad top rack for CB650R: Amazon product
- I bought this from amazon.co.uk (note: UK amazon, shipping to USA)
- USPS lost my shipment so I recommend using the DHL/upgraded shipping (second attempt was here within a week).
3) Shad SH48 / 48L top case: I bought new on eBay for $175. Here is a unit on Amazon: Amazon product
I have some SH23 side panniers on the way as well.
I have a spare 3P kit identical to one pictured here if anyone is looking for a pair! It's part in point 1 above. DM if interested. Here's the marketplace thread: https://650f.bike/threads/shad-3p-pannier-fitting-kit-for-2019-cb650r.2275/
