    Default Any options for giving passenger a backrest and armrests?

    Hi folks!
    Getting a 2020 Spyder RT on Wednesday, first time back on wheels in about 30 years. It's the base model so doesn't have the back and armrests for the passenger. Do I have any options to get an OEM or aftermarket parts? I'm also missing the rear luggage case, which I assume I can order from BRP.
    Thanks in advance!

    In Can Am's accesory catalog it looks like the back rests and arm rests are available but it looks like you also need order the rear rack. Consult your dealers parts department.

    As stated, parts are available.

    On the arm rests, they are an accessory item that is available in both OEM and aftermarket.

    IMHO the OEM looks better but if you have a plus size wife, they may not work out for her as they will not swing all the way out to give access for easy mounting and dismounting. For this reason, I do not have them, and my wife is happy without them.

    Adding the OEM trunk will get expensive really quick. I have saw a couple of used ones online, but they are around the 1000.00 - 1500.00 range. Someone on here did install an aftermarket one with a backrest but I can't recall his name.

    I bought the rear rack and bolted a Shad Base Plate to the rack. I cut a hole in the plate to access the LinQ knob.
    Total cost for rack & topcase was under $700.
