Rear Luggage
I just purchase a trunk rack for my Spyder Rt and was curious what people are using for luggage on this rack. What size, brand etc...

The rear trunk has a max recommended weight load of 20 lbs ( I have put quite a bit more )…. Be careful the load on the rack + what's in the trunk doesn't go to far above BRP's recommendation ………………. Mike

I think most folks who have this rack, including my wife, just strap miscellaneous items to it when they don't fit in the side bags or frunk. I haven't heard about anyone using specific motorcycle luggage on the rack, but it makes sense. As Mike says, try not to exceed 20# (including the rack), or you will exceed the OEM specs AND make it very difficult to open the trunk!

I use the Rally Pack. I has a large pack and a smaller roll pack and they can be used alone or together. Both have straps that will hold the securely to the bike. I also have trunk pack(don't know what the real name is) That is made by Hopnel for Gold wings for years. I have had this one since the mid 1990s and it still works well. I put my rain gear in it when I am traveling alone. It is a Brown color and matches my 2012 well. Hopnel used to make them in all sorts of colors but I think they only come in black now. They come with a rain cover. They also have 2 pockets in the front that are nice for putting sunglasses or sunscreen or other small things in.

Thanks for all your replies. I will probably get a med sized luggage/bag to use for light items such as rain gear, extra gloves etc... I will definitely watch out not to exceed the 20lb weight load.

I use the nelson-Rigg bag on a rear rack and love it.

Question. Since I ride solo on an RT at the moment, is anything made to go in the passenger seat?

I also own an RT( 2014RTS-SE6) and I also ride solo. What I do is I use 2 duffle bags ( medium size) stack them on top of each other, and use buggies cords to strap them down. I hook the buggies cords to passenger hand grips. These do not move. When I travel with the duffle bags the routes that I taken have some very sharp corners. ( like the tail of the dragon corners). But I am in Vermont.
Sorry no pictures, at this time, spyder is hibernation.
Hope this helps.
I don't use any rear racks.

Thanks Deanna, that’s great info. Like you I don’t want to put on a rack

Check out "Lamonster Garage" on the home page banner. He has bags for the rack as well as for the back seat. Several choices. Fit well and I like them.

We got a Coleman waterproof (?) bag that Is compressible and kind of clear primarily to keep rain gear or things we might need in a hurry.

I have an Iron Rider bag I use for my overnight bag on my rear rack. Overall I'm satisfied but I would look closer at a rain proof bag. Mine came with a cover but in a heavy rain my clothes were still wet.

I have had a Kurayakn bag on my GW and the same bag fits the rack on the RT perfect.Thus bag has 2 side compartments that you can get to easy and it has a rain fly that stores in a built in pouch.I use a small scale to check the loaded weight and usually keep it under 18 lbs.
