Although many cycles are not designed for touring, that does not stop the creative from making them so.
I did it for years, before there were actual "touring" bikes. Including my 2008 GS and 2009 RS. It was not easy finding stuff for them...but I did anyway.
When 2010 rolled around, I bought an RT, made for touring.
Others have also modified Rykers. The ones I have seen look good. Including the OP's.

Yes I have turned my Rally into a touring machine. No floor boards yet. And for cold weather I have heated gloves that are hardwired to the bike - VERY toasty on chilly days.
we ryde most time 2up 16.000 miles here in the Austrian/Italian Alps - runs perfect !! But next year we plan to change to the 2021 Modell, it seems the changed a lot in the powertrain ..
around 150 miles per tank - we drive it always nearly empty ..
Isn't running down low on fuel, rough on the fuel pump? On the other hand over filling may be worst. Start at 10:50.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inxsCGcBH1Y I would think this would concern us Ryker owners. Sorry, I got this off track. I'm looking for a small waterproof case for air cartridges, 12V pump, & gooey worms. to fit securely up tight under max mount, under the seat. I ride solo.
"Isn't running down low on fuel, rough on the fuel pump?"
Depends on what you mean by running low? Low Fuel Light on ? Not gonna hurt a thing. Running till empty? Yeah .. That isn't good for the fuel pump. I'm thinking (hoping?) that the Can-Am engineers were smart enough to design the fuel system to keep enough fuel in the tank for the fuel pump, but too low to let the Spyder run.
"On the other hand over filling may be worst"
I dunno. I personally never had an issue by by burping my tank too full when fueling.

Ryker looks great- has to be the best proportioned luggage setup Ive seen to date. Not over sized for the Ryker.
Thanks, I purchased them from Amazon a couple of years ago for a Moto Guzzi Griso 1200. I ended up going with another setup on the Griso (smaller bags), and these ended up in the closet never being used. So when I started looking for luggage solutions for the Ryker, I remembered that I had these saddlebags stored away and they ended up fitting the bike pretty good. They're almost a perfect match with the Linq top bag.
