1up Top Case Only

[JS3535]

Just thought I would share some pics & info of my latest add-on. This is for the people who never ride 2up & want extra cargo. I never liked any of the other style brackets that put the top case way far back pass the rear tire. I guess if you need the room & ride 2up, you have to do, what you have to do. But in this case (no pun attended) I wanted the Shad SH39 top case. I had a rear bag that was tied down to the rear seat but wanted something secured to the bike & lockable. The Shad SH39 matches the can-am saddlebags (which Shad makes) really well. The mounting bracket if from the F3-P version. Just had to drill a couple new holes for the case mounting plate & a trip to Lowes for some upgraded nuts & bolt & it was done. Thanks to my riding buddy RussDog for the case.

Tell your friend Russ I would like a free Shad SH48 case - I can pay the shipping if that helps.

Thanks.

NICE! This is exactly what I had planned once I get well enough to ryde a distance that would require luggage. I don't need much and the saddle bags never really went over well with me. Which luggage rack is that exactly? Don't understand what F3-P version means.... I wonder if it will clear my rear cowl or if I would have to remove it when using the top case.... I ryde solo primarily but would not keep the case on unless I was going on a trip. Is it easy to convert (remove/install)?

The F3-P is the police version. Google it & check it out. Part # for the bracket is 705010370. The rear of the bracket underneath just touches the top of my stock passenger seat. So if your cowl is higher than the stock seat it will probably hit it. Also the bracket is something you wouldn’t want to be taking on & off a lot. I had to remove the grab bars also because of the mounting brackets for the saddlebags.

Thanks for the info! Sounds perfect for my needs. I'm not a long distance fan and would only be installing the bracket/case if/when taking a trip. So on and off for me sounds like no big deal.

I am slowly working up to a trip to visit a friend of mine at his business in Tracy. Maybe we could meet up there and I can see your setup in person....

Well done...looks great and looks like a lot of room for storage...congrats..!!

Smoothspyder makes one but it’s over $500, no thanks. I knew the one I got would fit & work because it’s an OEM part for a F3.

Excellent, thanks for sharing. Had thought about doing exactly the same on mine to replace my Oxford dry bag which is strapped to the passenger seat. I had wondered if it would fit with my shad bags but you've answered that question too.

A previous thread suggested it was hard to get hold of the F3-P bracket so good to see it can be obtained.

I guess you can't get at under the passenger seat though? I usually keep emergency cash and a few tools under there.

Order the bracket from my stealer, total cost was $110. And yes there is no way you get the passenger seat out without removing the bracket. I thought about trying to modify the bracket to either make it pivot or quick attach somehow, I’ll let you know if I come up with anything.

Cheers That is a bargain price too, compared with the aftermarket ones at nearer $300. I also like the idea of the weight being nearer the centre of the bike and not hanging off the back.

Will this bracket work with the F3T saddle bags? I am also interested in this type of bracket and top box setup.

Did you come up with a quick release solution?

I have not but haven’t really tried either. Don’t really see a need for it because I never ride 2up.

JS3535,

I like your setup so well I decided to copy it as I never carry a passenger. I did go with the SH48 top case, and added the brake light, plus I added a top led strip that functions as turn signals as well as a runnin/ brake light.
The only issue is that the brp bracket is backordered until Dec 19. My dealer gave me a price of $98 for it. I even searched the internet for one, but everyone has it listed as backordered.
Sure hope that brp doesn't decide to discontinue it!

Thanks!
I will call them tomorrow to make sure they have it.

Contacted them and they do not stock this. They told me that they were told by BRP that this is discontinued. If so than it looks like I will need to make my own.

My dealer stated on national backorder. Nothing about being discontinued...

Mine states the same, but shows a ship date of 12/19 so BRP has time to discontinue it.

[JS3535]

I’ll sell you mine for $25,000 and I’ll throw in the rest of the bike for free. All seriousness though, I’m surprised I got mine when I did because it was only for the Police model and there is not many of those out there. Took about 1 week to get when I ordered mine. Should be pretty easy to make for any welding shop or fabricator if you are not going to do it yourself. Mine is aluminum, which would be harder than mild steel to fab.

Well, sure, I guess anything can be discontinued. The fact that they're not showing as a discontinued item is a plus thing
