Top Master Kawasaki Z1000SX - LSR-K0ZS18ST

The SHAD Top Master is the model-specific mounting frame that lets you fit a SHAD top case to a Kawasaki Z1000SX or Ninja 1000SX. Rather than a universal rack, it is engineered around the bike's own mounting points and subframe geometry, so the case sits low, square and stable behind the rider.

It suits commuters and sport-touring riders who want secure luggage for the daily ride or a weekend away, with the ability to take the case off quickly when it isn't needed. Assembly and removal are straightforward, and the kit is designed to work with SHAD's standard top case mounting plates.

This is the bike-specific fitting only. A SHAD mounting plate (supplied with most SHAD top cases) and the top case itself are required to complete the installation.

Install using the SHAD instructions supplied with the kit, fitting all brackets loosely first, then aligning the frame square to the bike before final tightening.
Tighten all fasteners to the torque values given in the SHAD instructions — avoid over-tightening into subframe or pillion grab-rail threads.
Re-check all mounting bolts after the first ride and then periodically, particularly after long trips, rough roads or any time the case has been carrying a heavy load.
Attach the SHAD mounting plate to the fitting before mounting the case; do not use an aluminium mounting plate with this fitting.
Before each ride, confirm the top case is fully latched and locked onto the plate and that it does not move when pushed by hand.
Load the case evenly and keep heavy items low and forward; never exceed the load limit specified by SHAD for your top case.
Wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly; avoid harsh solvents, degreasers and high-pressure washing directly at the brackets and fasteners.
Inspect regularly for corrosion, cracks, elongated bolt holes or worn fasteners, and replace damaged hardware before riding.
If the case is removed for a long period, leave the fitting clean and dry and keep the mounting hardware together with the bike's original fasteners for refitting.
