• 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.

That video is a BRP advertisement. I would really consider it an install video

Did you REALLY watch the whole video? Of course it's a BRP advert, but it even shows you how to remove the subframe brace at the end. Anyone who can't figure out how to install the top box from the written instructions and the removal video should be taking it to their dealer to do.

Yep, thanks for your profound input. I figured there may be more to the install than putting the bracket in; could be wrong. There is the amp install, side panels and I'm not the only one searching for install guidance, not uninstall guidance. But appreciate your expertise. You must have installed a few?

Chris, the point I am making is that the attached video is all there is at the moment, and if you can't install from that and the instructions, maybe you should pay a pro to do it..........or did you want someone who has already installed the box to completely deinstall everything and reinstall it while videoing it? The members are very helpful here, but that might be taking it a bit far.
 
Pete, have you done this install?

I dont think we've even seen this item in Australia yet...

No Lois, I haven't done it. Only a few people have even received them, and they are in the US. That's why there are no videos available on how to do it yet, just the BRP removal demo and the written instructions.
 
Yeah - we're still waiting...n

Going by some of the brp instructions for things for our Rs, st and now f3, I have to comment that "there are no silly questions" - in our experience a little clue in interpreting the instructions is often all that is needed, not the dealer $. Spyderlovers is a great place for these little clues.

I agree with that, I had no problem with the instructions and I thought the OP didn't know where the bracket went and that's why I suggested the removal video because it shows that bracket coming out.
 
BTW anyone looking for these top cases contact Blake at Pitbull Powersports as they had 14 of them in stock even though my dealer said they wouldn't be available until April!
 
Bracket

Doesn't Lamonster have a removal video? The wiring harness is just remove and install the new one, and it does show the removal of the bracket he's wondering about.

Actually the 'bracket' shown in removal video is not the bracket that is so confusing. The kit includes another bracket that reinforces the subframe and is mounted under the riders seat. It really is not directly related to the Top Case at all, except perhaps to compensate for the additional stress to the subframe that might occur due to exra weight so high and rearward.

If you remove the seat and the side panels you will see where it lays in and you have to drill 2 holes to mount it and the other 2 holes are already there. It strengthens the joint between the mid and rear frame.
 
I picked up my top case from a local Minnesota dealer yesterday, My out the door price was $1799.99
Going to do the install myself.

They have arrived at the Canam dealer in Essendon, Melbourne, Australia, but are incomplete. The colour panels that will complete the topcase will not be available until June. This is a deal killer for me as I need it for a major trip late May.

HEY SMOKES!! Get ahold of Blake at Pitbull Powersports and have them FEDX the correct color panels to you.

Installed the top case on my 2017 f3 top case ..need some help

Hello
Well the instruction for installing the f3 top case were awful. I think I got most of it done but I have a question on the cargo harness. The new harness they have you install has two pink female connectors that come off it on the front part of the harness towards the front seat. I can not for the life of me see where they plug in. Can anyone help?

Thanks folks

2016 F3 L Top Case wiring harness

So I need a clarification.

is the wiring harness needed to connect the amp to the radio preinstalled in the 2016 F3 L?
If not how hard is it to add this harness?
Thanks, Rick
