    Default Have you seen the Outrageous cost of Spyder accessories!?!

    I occasionally get emails from Can Am, as I sure most of you do. Normally I just delete them without reading them, but today's email was about luggage accessories. I have an RT, not an RTL, and while between the frunk and the side cases I have never needed more storage room, I thought it might be worthwhile to see about a fitted soft luggage bag for the back deck (where the trunk sits on the Limited). The ad included some nice items, but the prices were outrageous in my opinion. As a comparison, I recently bought a set of soft saddle bags for my new Royal Enfield Hunter 350, and the bags that I got for right around $100 are super well made and designed to fit and look great on this smallish motorcycle. The Can Am item, on the other hand (LinQ accessories) is a semi-rigid bag, but for $449! $150 looks more reasonable, maybe $200, but not $449. This reminds me of Harley Davidson accessories which are ridiculously priced just to have the HD logo on the item.

    I think I will look elsewhere for a rear bag, or just bungee one of the many bags I have accumulated over the decades for use on other motorcycles and not bother trying to find the perfect one for that space.
