Top Case options - can a rear trunk be added to a 2021 RT?
Can a rear trunk/passenger back rest be added to a 2021 RT?

I added a Shad 40L topcase to my '20 RT base.
Just need to buy the Qlink base and bolt the topcase baseplate to that.

Looks good. Can it hold a full face helmet?

I've got a SHAD 58X (expandable) top case on my 2021 RT. It's bigger than the OEM version and cost way less. I had to mount it to a QLinq rack but that was just a matter of drilling a few holes. I can remove the top case in about 5 seconds and the QLinq rack in another few seconds and reinstall the OEM color matched cover (which has a wrap around LED flashing brake light that plugs into the OEM harness). I thought about buying the OEM top case but everything included I've got less than 1/2 the cost. I don't know what you can store in the SHAD 40 but if you expand the SHAD 58X, you can easily hold (2) full face/modular helmets. I've got a thread on this somewhere on the forum.

I think the givi 47 liter top case is about the exact same size as the OEM top case on the 2020+ RT Limited. I am searching for a used one right now to mount on my 2016 BMW K1600B. If I cannot find one in the next few weeks, I will bite the bullet and buy a new one.

Here is Monk's great thread on adding a top case to a 2020+ RT:
https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...n-2021-RT-base
On my 2020, I opted for a smaller 42 liter topcase (paid $100 or so from Shad direct). I can fit my full face helmet and lots of other junk in there no problem. I use it mainly to hold my gloves and a place to put my helmet during riding breaks and meal stops.

That's not the OEM model is it?

The Shad SH40 only holds 1 full-face lid. It's big enough to hold a week's worth of gear/cloths for a solo tourer when I had it on my 2-wheeler. I think you need 50+L for 2 lids.

I just happen to have 4 linq clips for sale on the for sale forum. Great deal instead of having to buy new.
