F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?
Hello all. I'm new to the forum, and new to Spyder's. I pick my 2022 FS3 up on 17 June, and I'm going to need hard side bags. I'd like to do it once and do it right. I see Can-Am has the Shad bags, which look nice. I also need the brackets. Is this the way to go? Don't want to buy the wrong gear. Thanks for any help.

Is there a preferred rider & passenger back rest? My back and the wife's back get fatigued easily. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and experiences.

Years ago I bought some from " Mutaza " that resembled those SHAD bags ( do an advanced search " Mutaza saddlebags " above ) .... they came with very nice brackets so the bags were removable .... I think I paid $200.00 ( and they had leds ) ..... good luck .... Mike

I bought Shad saddlebags and brackets when bike was new. I got them when BRP had a sale on, so a bit of a discount. I am pleased with them. They hold my modular helmet with comms attached.
I bought a light kit from Admorelighting, and also replaced the factory reflectors with red ones. ShadUSA or tradeinn.com

Thanks for the info. I decided on the Shad bags and brackets, and a BRP driver backrest.

I Installed the Shad bags, and brackets yesterday. It came out perfect. I've had bags on several motorcycles, but these are the best so far, and I believe they actually compliment the spyder.

If you are interested, you can replace the silver coloured bag reflectors with red ones. I did, plus added the admore light kit - red running and brake light, and yellow for signals.

Thanks, but I like the minimalistic look as much as possible. I have the red reflector trim piece, but it looks like it's off a 1950 Desoto or something.

Your set-up is the same as mine. I got a deal when buying my 2019 F3-S new from Angel Pilot in Portimao, Portugal. Two BRP backrests and the Shad bags sorced from Shad, not Can-Am. I think they are superb panniers. Regards, Nick J

Yup ... The beauty of the Shad bags are that they hold a size XL modular helmet. More capacity than the the F3T/L or RT/L side bags. Here's another tip. Buy the F3/S mounts from BRP and get the bags from here ... https://www.motostorm.it/en/accessor...es-carbon.html

I absolutely love the Shad bags. I've had all kinds of saddlebags/panniers for motorcycling and bicycling, and I think these are the best I've had. I think the F3S looks naked without them. Easy on and off. I paid to much, but I'm over it. Plenty of room for most needs. And did I say they look great on the Spyder ;-)>

I like the Shad bags, they really balance out the look of the Spyder.

I have Shad panniers on my F3-S. They are great bags and look good in situ.
