2014 STL top case

[LV2RYDE]

Is there anyway to install the top case without the passenger backrest ( I'm a solo Ryder) and don't like to waste $650 for passenger backrest.
Any idea???
thanks

Going to be tough without the sport rack. There isn't much room back there behind the seat to mount anything to. Also, don't forget you have to lift the seat to refuel.....going to be a custom job for sure....good luck!

The dealer said, that is the way to do it. I don't want to spend $1,000 instead of $500.
I'll look for custom made, or I'll buy can-am luggage bag that fits in the frunk.
Thanks Drew

Yea, for solo packing I have done a big duffle bag on the rear seat and then a set of soft saddle bags on the sides of the duffle. It worked great and acted as a backrest too.
However, I've really only needed that much luggage once. Seemed like for solo riding the trunk stores quite a bit......at least for a guy....haha
Take care!

You got it, trunk and saddle bags are barely enough, for lady...

if you ryde solo you should go to the passenger bags available from...Kuryakyn, Nelson Riggs and others. Any hard trunk type is going to require a strong base. You might check with Givi....

Just wondering, if you have an STL which I guess is an ST Limited, dont you have panniers as stock with those?

The only two ways that I'm aware of are:
Purchasing the "NEW" all in one backrest from BRP, this has the facility to mount a top box/case to it.
Purchase a sports rack from BRP and then a Givi top box/case from a retailer and fit the Givi mount to the sports rack. This will require some modification, but is do able.

The other and much cheaper option is to purchase a good waterproof bag and strap it across the back seat, you have plenty of strapping points to use like the grab rails.

Ok, don't think I've seen one on a Spyder before. Not that I was really looking. Lol

Corbin make a nice trunk for solo riders. Problem is you need the seat as well. Cost is about $1100-1200


This is before I got the saddlebags.

With panniers, do you mean the saddle bags? Yes I have 2 hard saddlebags.

That's the way to go if your a solo ryder, truly awesome and I know it looks even better now.

It is good size, and complement the look of spyder. Look online for it on BRP website.

I agree, but the original top case from BRP is very cool and same price $1,000+. I believe it is new for this year. Check it online.
