Best Luggage For Honda XL750 Transalp
If you have got a Honda XL750 Transalp then it is highly likely you will be embarking on a motorbike tour and if so, you are going to want to find the best motorcycle luggage for such a trip.
Navigating the multitude of options is no straightforward task though and not just any old luggage cases are going to suffice. Luckily, you have come to the right place and we are here to point you in the right direction to find the right motorbike luggage for your XL750 Transalp.
Why Choose Honda XL750 Transalp?
The Honda XL750 Transalp is one of the most popular motorcycles amongst adventure riders and it is clear to see why. The latest addition to Honda’s adventure motorbike range, this motorbike has been designed with touring in mind and is built for long-haul journeys across various terrains.
In fact, the Transalp is evidence of the lengths Honda are going to, striving to revitalise their adventure line, with a little more fire in its belly and that much-sought-after versatility. With the appearance and capabilities of a physical, domineering off-roader whilst remaining lightweight for the ability to manoeuvre, it is one of the best all round motorbikes for that next adventure.
Why Consider SHAD Motorcycle Luggage?
While there is no shortage of motorcycle luggage on the market, many Honda owners opt for Honda branded luggage and as it matches their bike, it is understandable why they do so. With that said, is it really the best option overall?
The simple answer is no and that is because SHAD luggage exists. SHAD fitting kits are designed and tested for each specific motorcycle and can be used with a range of top boxes, panniers and tank bags, allowing you to keep the same luggage and simply purchase a new rack if you decide to change your motorbike. In comparison, Honda luggage is bike-specific as it fits to the motorcycle’s existing racks and thus if you change bikes, you will need all new luggage cases.
As well as producing their own luggage that feature an array of options, waterproof structures and secure locking systems, SHAD also make a lot of Honda’s luggage. Honda then take the SHAD luggage, slap a logo on it and list it at significantly higher prices, meaning you are essentially paying a premium price for a Honda badge.

Best Tank Bag For Honda XL750 Transalp
Although motorcycle tank bags are arguably already the most convenient luggage option of all due to their easy-to-reach placement, there are none more convenient than SHAD’s click system tank bags.
SHAD’s click system is in a complete league of its own, allowing their tank bags to effortlessly slot in and out of place in a matter of just seconds and claiming a place as the ideal alternative to those fickle, time-consuming magnets and straps used to secure most other tank bags.
Taking their convenience into account alongside their inclusion of a waterproof rain cover, different levels of security, glove-friendly zippers and comfortable carry handles, any of SHAD’s click system tank bags would be a great addition to the Transalp and it really depends which size is your preference.
Armed with all of this information, you should now have the know-how to find the best motorcycle luggage options for your next Honda XL750 Transalp adventure.
