• 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.

Anyone fit a Tail Box on a 2014 RSS?

Think the sports rack /Top box stopped at the ‘13, at least what my ‘14catalog stops at, there is a passenger seat bag #280000320 $139.49
 
This is what I have on my 2016 ST-S...it's the Givi top box, matches my saddle bags.
I already had the passenger backrest, and needed to add the rack for the top box to mount onto.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm in the same position - need to add the rack for the top box to mount onto. Where did you find the rack? Thanks in advance for your help

I made my own steel mount for my 08 GS and added a top box ..... this was before anything was made by after-market vendors .... It can be done ..... Mike :thumbup:

I did something similar but instead of cutting a whole on the mounting plate I cut a nylon cutting board to shape. I bought an extra plate for the tail and drilled holes for the mounting plate and cut the cutting board to roughly the same shape as the cover then mounted everything to the plate an put it in place then set the trunk onto the mounting plate.
 
Well , this post is from 13 years ago right before my trip to the very first Spyder Homecoming in Valcourt Quebec. :yikes: but this is my post of how I did I it. Your setup would be the same . This is prior to me adding the givi side bags which were added at the homecoming . Side note ~ The post linked below is from SpyderTalk which was the predominant Spyder forum ( which Lamont was a member of ) before he left and started his own , aka : Spyderlovers. Currently that SpyderTalk site is just archived info, but I mention it only because it has some really good reference stuff for the older spyders if you search around . https://www.spydertalk.com/threads/givi-e450-trunk-installed.5649/
 
Hey Bromfla! That is my spyder that you have a picture of with the cutout in the Givi top case mount!
Did you have that spyder before? Orange 2011 RSS?
