Does such beastie's exist yet? Getting on with a back rest would also be nice.

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.
Any Top cases that don't interfere with the passenger?

Maybe something like this. It would be good to have a higher stop light.

Only question would be - would the mounts be happy with more weight that far back given the Max Mount itself is kind of "floating" already. I'm sure it would be fine without a passenger, but with I may start to get concerned (depending on the load in the case of course).
Just food for thought.

I use for my 900 this here - black painted lid/backrest to close with a key and the possibility for LED stoplight on the back - 31 Liter ..
& just get a U-formed aluminium plate over the max-Mount to make it longer. A very easy solution - should be finished next week.
The passenger seat will be a flat GEL-cushion wider than the original, BUT It seems that we are more of a lightly weighted couple.

Is that a Peugeot Scooter Top Case?
Also, where would you "just get a U-formed aluminum plate"?

The plate is made from a metal company here - yes, it is a "scooter" case - here is another (French) idea to fix a top case behind the passenger, but I'm not sure if that is strong enough but very "elegant".
Fixed on the 4 nuts on the back of the max-mount -strong enough???

That is what I have in mind. Does Can Am sell that mount? All I have seen is the top case that replaces the passenger seat.

I did more tan 62,000 kms on Spyders... now I love the Ryker's drive-shaft and the CVT gearbox - together that's 100% better for touring here in the Alps than any of the old models - and the power and the speed is OK for me.
That is a great job, really looks nice, Chris56. :clap::2thumbs:

Did you fashion the back plate where the case sits yourself? I am not a mechanic, so would you post a step by step "how to"? Also, where did you get that great windscreen?

First - if you want to install a "better" windshield, you'll have to cut the lid of the glovebox - without that, it's not possible to fix it in a good looking and aerodynamic way & if it is fixed too high, so it looks "crazy" - the shield is only fixed on the handlebars (5minutes)
So I cut it - made a rubber-seal (from a window) and I'm now waiting for a "Lock" system from SHAD - only one key for the glovebox and the side case.
I use this smaller PUIG in the moment, but you could also use also the wider ones.

The new Aluminium plate for a topcase (mine is from a Peugeot-scooter) is lying "over" the maxmount and makes it 12 Inches longer it has the "form" of the max-mount and should be fixed with screws to a second plate under the max-mount- I wanted a case with a backrest and a black painted lid (triple-black-ryky), also some Red Lines on it (maybe with LEDs on the End) - you could use also a SHAD if you want..
Mounted Directly onto the plate with the caseholder is the seat-pad - as low as possible - she does not want to sit so much higher than me.
I've also now ordered black metal handlebars from a KTM-Bike - the price for these add-ons were around:
Shield ..150;
complete Alu-plate with Seatpad - 400;
Topcase with mountplate - 200;

Thanks for the info, Chris. You certainly are imaginative.

I used a GS and then an RT for the last 10 years, (62,000 kms- most 2-up) - I love the Ryker's drive-shaft and the Design - so I promised my girl that she'd have enough space and a "luxury" seat when I ordered this small Ryker last year.
