    Default Luggage rack and way to relocate antenna on a F3T

    As the title says, I have a F3T and would like a nice looking luggage rack to fit behind the passenger. I am also thinking that I will need to relocate the antenna. This will also need to work while using the smooth spyder driver/passenger backrest. I think I recall seeing such a thing before, but cannot seem to find it now. I know there was one out earlier, but it said that it could not be used with the backrest. Any help would be appreciated.

    I saw the BRP rack, and think that will work. But I have not seen an antenna relocation kit.

    I went to move my antenna but wound up clipping the top of the existing one. I wanted to really pile on the gear, and a full sized tent eliminated any possibility of an antenna sticking out.

    I think it had a little effect, but not enough to spend the money on a shorter copper core antenna. Since I cannot change channels while driving on my F3-T it just means about 5 miles less of reception.

    Thanks, That is one of the ones that I have been looking at. But if I do not relocate the antenna, then the size bag seems to be very limited. Or else I will need a tall one, that is not too wide. I thought there was an adapter that would turn the antenna a 90 degree angle to the rear. I will contact you on this.

    Default F3 Ant

    I had the same issue with Baker rack and Givi box. Busted my antenna trying to remove it. I replaced it with another ant in the same position. It touches the box and just bends away. Makes absolutely no difference to reception.

    Can you post pics of your Spyder with the Shad 58 case attached - side and rear views would be helpful. Thanks in advance - I am trying to decide if I will like the look.
