Any pics or suggestions on which rear rack to use as Givi mount? 2019 F3T

[OregonBrian]

Hello all
New member here…
I have a ‘New to me’ 2019 F3T that I’m in the process of making touring ready. I’m taking another run at the Four corners this next summer.

I have three assorted Givi top cases that have I’ve been using on my bikes for years, and want to continue using on the Spyder. Looking at photos from other members I see a couple with Givi boxes but I don’t see what rack they’re mounting to. It looks like the Lamonster rack is closest to meeting my needs with a Givi universal mount. I’m mainly interested in being able to attach my 44 liter aluminum Trekker Outback box as its already wired and set up for touring.
Any suggestions or photos of such a setup?
Thanks much

The closest thing I see for the F3T is the Lamonster IPS Packrack. There is a video at the bottom of the page of the Rack. https://www.lamonstergarage.com/ips-...f3t-lamonster/ But maybe someone else knows of a better solution??

I had a 80 liter aluminum top case installed on my Lamonster Pack Rack

Thanks for the info guys. I found another vendor CanAm Spyder Accessories that also has a rack, looks pretty nice.

Spyder are a little harder to find parts for then BMW/Honda/Yamaha etc... Building my saved bookmarks list!

I have this Can Am Accessories rack on my 2020 F3T. Easy to install too.
My dog carrier is attached to it, also doubles as helmet storage.
Unfortunately, I don't have close up pics on this computer.

I, too have the Canamspyder accessories rear rack. Pleased with it.

Thanks Gilda
The photo in your album has a pretty good shot of your bag on the bike. Exactly what I wanted to see. Your bag is about the size of my Givi box. Gives me some scale.

That is the one that I have a 54L givi box mounted to. It is great. Easy to install and looks nice as well.

Thanks for the pics Blacklightning. I like the looks of the Spyder accessories rack. The Lamonster rack definitely has some better tie-down options for soft bags. I have another month to chew on it till I can afford the rack, so Ill post a pic or two when I pull the trigger.

Well I ordered up the Spyder Accessories top rack and ordered the Givi Monokey hardware set. I'll just drill and tap the latches directly to the rack. Here's what it should look like when I get the mounting hardware attached.
The only (minor) issues I have with the Spyder accessories rack is that the edges are a bit sharper then I would like. I can see my roc straps getting cut through if Im not careful in my tie downs. I'll probably wrap something around the mounts to cover the edges. My Trekker top box has been on many trips, on many bikes with me so Im glad to have it ready for the next ride.

Wonder if some automotive trim edging would work on that rack? That's a sharp bike, Brian.

Great idea. Thanks

I was going to suggest getting a small rubber tube and slitting down one side to slip over those sharp edges, but Sarah has an easier solution. BTW that is a beautiful Spyder.

I received the mounting hardware for my Givi top boxes to mount up to my rack. Easy install, had to cut the m6 screws down to length was about the only modification I had to make to the kit. Now I can use any of my old Givi boxes on the Spyder. The Spyder is about ready for some warm dry weather to arrive so we can go rack up some miles!

OK, one other mod to make is running the 12v circuit under the pillion seat up to the port installed on the box, and to the 12vdc power port inside the box. I charge my laptop, phone, and GoPro batteries from that port pretty much constantly when traveling.

I will say that Can-Am did a fantastic job scattering 12v user circuits all over the bike. And the plastics on this bike are so easy to access, big fat pushpins and easily accessible screws. At least for the side and rear panels and the electrical located behind the frunk. Sooo much easier than many of the other bikes I've owned. Engine looks pretty buried, but those are seldom easily accessible. Man, I had a 2022 Goldwing for a while, now THAT didn't like giving up the Tupperware.
