    Default Can AM F3 top case - any buyers regret?

    I'm considering the $$$ purchase of the top case for my F3T. I like the look of it on the bike and the extra storage it provides. I'm also not interested in any other aftermarket solution after looking at all the other alternatives.
    Does anyone regret their purchase and what it brings including capacity, looks, etc.? I'll be wanting the Spyderpops kit that moves the top case back 5 inches, so if anyone has thoughts on that I would appreciate the input.
    Thanks!

    It came standard on my 2018 F-3 Limited and i love it, plenty of extra room and a great backrest for my passenger, i also added a rack (show chrome in Black) and it made the lid more solid.

    Default Top case

    I had to order mine when I purchased the bike in Feb. 17 as they were not available till Apr.,but I have no regrets at all. The size of the opening and the rest of the case is so much more user friendly than the RT.

    I have a 2018 F3L and love the top case. Will add rack to sturdy up lid. Plenty of room. I hated my RT trunk. Was to deep. Had to pile everything on top of each other. I also added Spyder pops trunk extender. Very sturdy and still looks factory. The dealer didn't even notice it when I had in for service. The wife loves the extra 4 or more inches of room.

    Thanks, everyone, for your input on the top case. I just ordered all the parts and pieces and hopefully will get it in time for a Labor Day weekend install.

    Any dealer can order you one - all the parts are around $2k I think. I quoted it for mine when they first came out but opted to pass and purchased a luggage rack and cheaper top case for my needs.

    I got mine from eBay, a little cheaper than dealer price. Mine did not include the amp (and I didn't want it anyway) but the speakers came with the top case.

    Be aware that the top case, the top case side panels and the amp are three separate items.

    I bought this rack through Lamonster. Well made, nicely finished and looks like it belongs there.

    Ok here was my choice on my f3. Bought a kurakyn case and installed brp arm rests for wife. Luggage rack carries bag when 2 riders when arrive at hotel carry in bag to room.
    I do like the looks of the top case but cost $$$ is crazy.

    Gotta love the F3 Limited's top case, it holds a large pizza, flat!

    Love my BRP topcase and Spyder Pops seat extender. Hated the price until a coworker wanted to order a topcase for his Indian. Price for the Indian topcase and all of it's needed parts and "accessories" would have been over 4 grand! Don't forget you'll need the BRP amp for rear speakers.

    And about those rear speakers, it would be real nice if the volume that came out of them was adjustable.
    Just an extra front/rear balance setting in the audio preferences would do the job. Not on my '16 F3L.

    Correction: The F3L topcase not only holds a pizza flat, but you can stop at the donut shop and put a large box of them in there too. And still there is more room!

    No regrets all. Just add the luggage rack to strengthen the top. Tom
