Probably a question for Lamonster, since he has both Corbin items on his F3:
I have the CanAm F3 removable passenger backrest. Does the Corbin Dual Touring saddle or the Corbin saddlebags interfere with the fit of the backrest?
Also, it looks like the Corbin saddle is one piece. How does this work with the factory passenger seat (ignition key unlock) system??
I can't speak to how well the Corbin bags integrate with the existing passenger backrest, but I do recall one of the questions asked during the ordering process was whether you had any accessories like that.
As far as the seat, the Corbin touring seat is one piece. They provide the instructions and hardware to move the seat post locking mechanism - pretty easy mod and it allows the factory unlock mechanism to still work.

I have ordered the Corbin saddlebags. 6 to 7 week production time but I think they are going to be great.
My bags came in I was super excited . The figment was poor.I had to drill out the holes quarter of an inch. three days after I had an install the one on the lids developed three cracks in the paint .I contacted Corbin they wanted me to from the bags back but already adjusted the fitment on my bike so I just sent them the lid .hopefully I don't have to wait another eight weeks. They are very expensive but they look awesome on the bike

Passenger backrest will not work with Corbin bags, not enough clearance
So it's been almost 2 months and still no saddlebags. just called them and was told they have redesigned them so that they will work with the back rest. they are shipping next week. I'm starting to lose my patients so I hope they do ship next week.

Hang in there. Corbin is very nice stuff. The modification sounds like it is worth waiting for.

Could you please provide us a little follow-up? Did you get the bags after your wait? Did they go on the bike OK and meet your expectations? Did they actually redesign the bags for fitment with the BRP backrest? Your input would be greatly appreciated before I decide on a $2,000 gamble! Thanks!

HAVENT PUT THEM ON AS OF YET BUT PURCHASED FOR $350 SOMETHING. BRAND NEW FROM ITALY ON EBAY (FOR FOREIGN PRODUCTS I TRY TO ORDER FROM COUNTRY OF ORIGIN). THEY ARE LISTED ON EBAY IN THE STATES FOR ABOUT $500. PURCHASED WINGRACKS FOR $50 FROM A PRIVATE SELLER. AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF INSTRUCTIONS ON HERE ON INSTALLING.
They look GREAT! Do I see in the pic that the BRP back rest is now comparable with your Corbin bags? If that is the case, I am getting the back rest soon! The saddle bags? Well, Xmas is just around the corner!! I appreciate the pics! Hope they serve you well!

The Corbin bags look good, but the Givi bags are 1/4 the price, and holds more stuff. Plus, they are easily removed when you don't want/need them on. It is Givi for my wife then.
Initially, there was a delay on the Corbin F3 saddle bags while they "redesigned them" to fit with the BRP back rest system. Finally get confirmation that the two are compatible, and now, according to the e-catalogue, the BRP back rest is "temporarily unavailable"! Round and round we go! I'll see if my local shop any info. Anyone else heard anything?
The Corbin bags take first place in the looks dept hands down.. Having said that,, the reason I bought my F3 was having the ability to take the luggage on n off quickly... Corbin did a great job on the bags for sure but for me personally,,, I want luggage that holds a bit more...
