• 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.

Can-Am luggage

Hey, how about showing a little respect? There are much more polite ways to express yourself. Your point is well made, but your delivery lacks finesse.

point well taken, didn't have my literary agent or publicist proof read before I went and blabbed on icestorm1998. Please accept my apologies icestorm1998 . :)
 
No problem.. Not sure where you saw I had an 09 Spyder.. it should have shown that I had an 08 RS... traded that in back in December and bought a 2010 RTS. Anyway, I got the soft bags from my dealer for $50. plus tax.. They've got the CanAm logo and fit nicely. I've attached a quick pic of them .. I can't find my slip for the stock number cause my time is running short as I'm headed out on a 2500 mile spyder trip with a sucky rear suspension.

Really Cheap Side Bags for RT

Went to Sears with my husband to buy a torque wrench to complete adding a handlebar riser on the RS. I spotted these Craftsman canvas "tool" bags on sale for $6.99. I bought 2 for my RT. I might even use one as a real tool bag. Bag.jpg

BRP canvas side bags...??

Can you let me know where they are available. I can't find them in BRP accessories. ... Len

BRP now has a least expensive side bag option for the RTS. I just picked up a set for $50. They are made out of canvas, expandable and fit nicely.

SpyderAnn01, can you tell me the size of the bags? You are my kind of person, looking for value and durability. Thanks. We have just bought our Spyder less than
3 months ago and we still have a lot to get to be ready for the fall. We are planning an overnight trip and while we do have a basic duffle bag, we don't have something
like you pictured. Thanks.
 
Luggage

Welcome to the group. You might look on ebay for different styles of luggage. They do have some soft sided for sale. Look under "Can Am Spyder."

I received a full set of BRP luggage with my 2013 RTL. The only one I ever use is the large one with the wheels that fits in the frunk. It fits perfectly taking up all the space in there. It'll hold a lot of clothes and I use it on every trip. The other three have been delegated to the attic over my garage. However the one for the trunk can be handy on a trip because it only takes up the top half of the trunk, leaving the bottom half for "normal trunk stuff". I may use that one too when I go to Spyderquest.

I purchased a set of five soft sided Hopnel bags from Big Bike Parts, $104.75, for five bags, frunk, L&R saddlebags and two for the rear trunk. The rear trunk bags are two to match the interior of the trunk. No frills, just good quality canvas, more than enough room for me for Spyderfest.
 
How do you pack?

welcome:congrats: Anything that says BRP is expensive, except this post.:roflblack:
I do NOT have the luggage but did get to inspect full set for sell & yes it fits snugly in compartments looks nice & for people that "need" a bag with weels I say it must work. Personaly my saddlebags come off my STL & I max frunk out the luggage would hamper my ability to carry my drinks so not good for me. On a RT you have a rear trunk I do not. May be perfect here are pics of what I saw if it helps

(wow 2/3 pic posted upright!!)

Like others, I wanted the complete set of BRP bags for my RT but thought they were too expensive. I really like the front roller bag that came with my RT and have used it a couple times on overnight trips. I recently purchased the five soft sided Hopnel bags from Big Bike Parts and am pleased with how they fit into the compartments. I am looking forward to putting them to use when I go on a 3,000 road mile trip with some friends. It is going to be interesting being the only Spyder in the group. Most of the other riders will be their 2-wheel HDs and one or two others will be on their HD Tri-Glides. :trike:
 
Very Frugal

My 2011 came with all 4 pieces of luggage which are stored in my attic, also. I use canvas, reusable grocery bags in the frunk and the trunk, they fit perfectly and I can get more stuff in those areas using those bags. When we get to a hotel, I can just pull out the bag. I also pack using ziplock bags, squeeze the air out of them, makes lots more room!!
The luggage takes up valuable storage space. I use a small roll bag on the passenger seat for things that I pick up along the way and my extra jacket if I need it. :ani29::thumbup:
 
FYI everyone, we have an old heavy duty duffle bag. It is 12 x 12 x 20 inches. If you stand it up on it's side inside the 2015 Spyder front compartment, it just about fits.
