• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Best saddlebags for 2015 F3-S

Choices are brp cross country (smallish), brp shad hard bags (36L, holds my helmet), leather bags, throwover bags. Lots of pics on various threads.
 
Those look awesome. Please let me know how you like them. Pros and cons. I don't need saddlebags all the time - just on extended trips, so this is a much more practical option than the Shad set. :clap:

i used Givi E22N on my F3 with SPDR-R1 easy brackets. good enough for me on 3 day trips. total cost 350 bucks

I've had Givi (Kappa) on 3 different bikes and E22's on 2 of them.
big fan of those bags
do you have any pics of how you mounted the easy brackets you can share?
and maybe a link to the bracket source?-I see Highwayman posted a link

These bags from Mutazu are another option. $300 including the mount. Not the fanciest of mounts but mine never come off. They include the brake leds. They could be used with EZ brackets with a bracket on the inside. The top piece can easily be painted to match whatever color you want. Do a search on SL and there are some photos of some nice silver ones.CJ JAX

Spyder pops leather bags

I have Spyder pops leather bags and for me they are great .
Super easy quick release brackets 10 minutes to install mounts on the bike .
Great looking extremely well made , I'm very happy with mine.

I put a set of Kappa K40 bags on my wife's F3 using the Wingrack 2 mounting bracket. The wingrack comes in few different models. One for a top bag, one without and one with signal lights. If I were to do it again I would get the one with the top rack and swapped the brackets around. A slight modification is needed to put on the mount. The Kappa and Givi bags hook right up to the mount. For the top bag we found a cheap FB top bag to go on the bracket I made for it.

The SHADS are very nice and the mounts are barely noticeable when you take them off.

Being able to store a modular face helmet was one of the reason I opted for the F3S instead of the F3L (which won't any on the integrated side cases).
That and the "bobberish" look of the rear end that I love so much...

That said 90% of my rides are with the bags off (the frunk will hold all that I need), so very happy with this setup.
