    Default Golf clubs?

    I just bought a 2019 RT limited and I love to play golf. Wondering how I can carry my clubs without going the trailer route. Any suggestions or ideas?

    what ever route will probably need at least the hitch. Seal had one but is no longer available Jt has the NHR that may require something additional for vertical support but would be feasible https://spyderstore.com/index.php?ro...tegory&path=66

    Some sort of rack like this would work.

    You know anyone that has a fab shop? If you was to find a trailer hitch for your bike even if it was used, they could put a receiver type hitch on it, then make you a rack to slide into the receiver and hold your golf club bag! Then when your not hauling your clubs, you can pull the pin and take the rack off, and all you'll have there is a trailer hitch receiver, nice and neat!!! If you lived close to me I would fab one up for you!!!

    Keep in mind the hitch is attached to the rear wheel so any and all movement goes straight into the cargo and any vertical support also needs to attach to the swing arm. Anything attached to the swing arm increases unsprung weight making the rear shock work overtime.

    I am in the same situation. I like to play golf and ride my F3L. Aside from maybe the driver, all clubs and bag are narrower than the front wheels. Hence, there's no risk of being too wide in the back if you secure the bag across the passenger seat grab rails. In fact, the driver may work as well but its harder to center everything on the grab rails. Then you find a way to attach the driver a grab rail Spyder length wise . You can wrap foam around the bag to not damage anything. I've never tried it but I will next season.

    That's what I was thinking. You might loose a few clubs bouncing out on the way to the Course, unless of course you have a bonnet on your bag.

    Metal shafted clubs, not so much, but glass shaft clubs are too easily damaged by the vibration caused from swing arm mounting bracket system. Take my word for it, I had a wedge eat a notch in my 7 iron shaft. Had all the heads covered with a sock but it still got gnawed on. Kept my clubs in a locker at the club house after that until I got a trailer.

    You could use plastic sleeves inside your bag to protect each shaft individually and covers for the blades.

    Tried small water pipe insulation. Worked but kind if a hassle. I started using HF mover's blankets to stabilize items in my trailer. So far that works well very.

    I have strapped the bag across the rear grab bars and it worked really well except I cant see past the bag with the mirrors.

    Her are a few possibilities for carrying your golf clubs. the last one I am not sure you could attach it to the spyder easily. Finally a possible storage solution for those that need a little more storage but a trailer is too much.

    I sell bag racks. We quit manufacturing but I have a few sizes left. You will need a trailer hitch. Let me know if interested,

    This is what I have done on my F3L and the bag cover keeps the clubs in the bag, but as Joe said the visibility with the mirrors is non existant.

    What is the difference between this stupid expensive $670.00 hitch sold by BRP https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en...-2018--up.html

    And this $289.99 hitch at Lamonster? http://www.lamonstergarage.com/trail...els-lamonster/

    Just the price and not much else. They both mount to the swing arm and will transfer any and all motion to whatever you attach to it so don't put anything breakable in the bag and whatever you use to support the bag also has to attach to the hitch. I still maintain it's a poor design. Its easy to install and does the job sort of but how many vehicles have you seen with the hitch attached to the rear axle.
