Great job! Looks good.

Best looking bags on an F3 by far. Most excellent craftsmanship on your part!

Thanks for posting. Hopefully BRP will notice and make these the standard bags on the F3T.

Are the ST bags larger than the bags BRP sells for the F-3 ?????...... PS, nice job , they look great......Mike :thumbup:

Yes, the ST bags are the same as the Givi V35 bags which I am going to put on my wife's F3. She doesn't want them on all the time just for long trips, four bolts and their off.

What mount did you use to install these?

Nice mods. They look very nice. :yes::yes:

Are you going to be selling the brackets? If so I'm a customer.

I made the brackets and welded them to the saddlebag frames. I got a very good deal on ST bags with the side mounting hardware. I stripped all the tabs off, used 3/16" flat plate with right angle bend and 1/8" x 3/4" angle iron. This setup seems to be strong enough that additional bracing will not be needed. Need to load bags and put a few hundred miles to verify. PM me if you would like additional information.

A BRP rep last year at Spyder Odyssey in Quebec City, had a set of Givi V35 bags on her F3. She had the brackets done herself by a metal shop, and was trying to convince BRP to make brackets for the F3 to mount the Givi bags. I guess they nixed the idea because we haven't seen them around.
It's too bad because I have to agree, that is the best looking bags I have seen on an F3. I only went with the Kappa bags for my wife because we couldn't find any brackets for the V35 to fit her F3.

BAGS LOOK GREAT, WHAT IS THE REAR FENDER OFF OF.

 

[budsboy]

GREAT LOOKING JOB, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE REAR FENDER IS OFF OF

 

[fencepost]

Rear tender is an 11" wide custom fender I purchased off the internet and cut down.

Thanks for the info

Yes, nice job! This is the second F3 I have seen with these bags on them. Spotted one at SpyderQuest last fall. He purchased the bags & brackets for a couple hundred bucks from an ST owner and I think he said he had a local welding shop fab up the ST brackets to fit his F3. His F3 was white.

I believe they're off a Spyder ST. The ST Limited used to come with bags. I think you could order bags for the other ST models.
