    Uh, having to keep it shiny!

    I guess I am in the minority when it comes to chrome.... absolutely despise the stuff. So much so that I swapped in the black CAN-AM emblems to rid myself of the only piece of chrome on my ride! Don't get me started on what I have done to rid myself of it on my cars/truck.....

    First of all this not meant to disparage your F3T/L rack for the Can Am factory top case.
    I was unable to locate a local dealer that had a top case in stock to look at and inspect in person, but I thought (and still do) it looked very nice and matched the overall look of the bike, in all the pics I found online. I ordered the top case for my 2017 F3T and am very disappointed in this high dollar accessory. It is thin, flimsy and has plastic hinges that allow it to move around when open and the wind is blowing moderately. I dont think it will hold up very long to the added weight of any luggage rack.
    In fact if I ever get a decent offer for it I plan to replace it with something else. I know you are thinking, just another old goat that is never satisfied and just likes to complain.
    Honestly I love the bike but the top case is very disappointing for the money it costs, but then Ive been riding Harleys for 35 years and may be expecting too much from a $1500 top case that requires another $200 to get color matching side panels and $300 for an amp so the rear speakers will work. Are you listening Can Am/BRP? Rant over ryde safe and enjoy the fall weather everyone.

    A common statement about the BRP top rack. Accessories for ANY MC are way overpriced and underqualitied. You have to pay to play. This is where the dealers make extra profit margin.

    Big Bike Parts got a small number of Chrome Racks in, we got one of them. The rest of them including the Black should be available starting the middle of December. We have them listed now on our site. We can ship the first one that we received and have in stock now.
