My wife recently purchased an 15 F3. Of course she wants bags. What aftermarket bags seem to work best? Needs to be big enough to hold a helmet.

I am happy with my Shad saddlebags. Lockable, will fit my modular helmet with comms, and a light kit is available. I bought the bags and mouth at brp online store at their summer sale.

Martin has a shad set, for the F3, and that is quite a bit cheaper as the oem can am set of bags, I have an oe set, they came with the bike, and they hold easily a fullsize helmet.
Look for Martin the vlogger
Agree with above. Aftermarket Ghost brackets allow many different type of Viking bags, but I don't think any of them allow fitment of a FF helmet. I have the Shad set up, and it swallows my LS2 Valiant II modular with no problem. Another option is a luggage rack such as Lamonster Packrack or Spyder Accessories. You can then add a top case/bracket of your choice...
I have a 2015 F3 SE6. I put on Easy Brackets on with Leatherworks, Inc., 120 Special Slight Angle Saddlebags a few years ago. One of the vendors on here sells that set up already done and all you have to do is mount it on the bike. I ordered the two separate a few years ago and put them together myself. I have been very happy with them. I never tried to put a helmet in them, but without trying, I know a half helmet would fit.
I bought a set of " Mutaza brand " bags on e-bay for about $200.00 ... others here also bought them .... they came with brackets ..... PM me if you find them ..... Mike :thumbup: .....I found these E-bay# 231450424781 .... free shipping and they are wide enough for a helmet....Quote:

Thanks all. My wife is asking if anyone has photos they are willing to share of a base F3 with the Shad bags and/or the Givis. Also, since she will often be the passenger she is asking if anyone has some with a height challenged passenger riding with the bags on so she has a reference. Thanks all again!
This is my Shad bags on my 2019 F3. I often travel with the right one off, so to get the Spyder closer to the garage wall, which makes getting on and off the bike easier. With both bags on, I usually put my left foot on the left footpeg, but not ideal due to the forward location of the peg. I am considering running boards for this purpose.
Shads/top case installed ...
