F3 Storage

[Lamonster]

Lamont, will you be selling a hitch set-up for F3 owners? If I hadn't just bought my '14 RTS last year I'd go for an F3 IF I could pull my trailer with it.

Yes, after doing some more testing. :doorag:

Then the F3 may become my next Spyder! I need a tourer, and the storage is the main thing I don't like about it (after that weird front end, which I'm getting used to).

Thanks, Lamont.

I have used my previous two motorcycles as daily drivers, which means taking a briefcase or backpack and a small gym bag to work. I took my canvas briefcase with me to the demo ride back in December to see if it would fit in the frunk of the F3. Not even close... It does fit in the frunk of my wife's RT. And since BRP decided not to have any saddlebags available, there are few storage options. Since I'm one to place functionality ahead of beauty, I got out the barrel bag that probably did 30,000 miles with me strapped to the passenger seat of my first bike, a Honda Shadow Aero 750. So now I've got some usable storage space on the F3. Also, since there wasn't a backrest option available, I also now have a backrest. Between the barrel bag and the tank bag from my BMW, I'm ready for work and some weekend trips.

And yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. [emoji6]

First time I have found myself not needing a backrest, but I like this setup particularly because the barrel bag looks here to be a good option as a travel case. :thumbup:

Bikers Friend on F3

I also have the large bikers friend barrel bag on the back of my F3. I like the way it looks & it fits two helmets if needed & also is a comfy backrest.
It's definitely water resistant. I'm 6'-4" & have the footpegs in the most forward position = fits me nicely. Also have rider backrest & saddlebags on order with BRP. I think their backrest will allow me to sit back a little further & I hope the bikers friend will still fit!

Here are a few pictures of the tank bag install. The only thing you can't see is how the tail strap attaches to the frame under the seat. (Somebody forgot to take a picture during the install!) The upper straps seem to blend in nicely with the black top and more or less continue the lines of the arched truss members. I'll definitely be looking into a larger (taller) tank bag.
