Harley Trunk on F3 Limited

[DGoebel]

MagYukon, Thanks for showing me that Shad Case, didn't know it existed and I know they make good topcases, had a different one on my last bike. I've tried to get my wife to consider a F3 Limited with the factory case/backrest option, but she says it's too low compared to our RTL's backrest. Using the taller backrests with a Shad 58X (or 59X) on a deck might be the fix...

Tour Pak

Has anyone tried to put a Harley trunk on a F3 Limited? I'm sure that fabrication of a mounting bracket would be the biggest challenge. The factory trunk is just too expensive for my budget.

Check on eBay, this is what I have on my F3S but it'll also work on the T, the luggage rack is from Baker Built, check out the home page, they have a link, you just have to figure out your mounting to the rack. I set mine up for easy removal and leaving the luggage rack on, I also added a third brake light, LED, mounted to the bottom of the trunk. I can have the whole thing off in 10 minutes. The last 2 pictures are the box mounted on my bike:yes::doorag:

Adjustable Backrest

I have the adjustable back rest and I don't believe the Bakerbilt rack will work with it. Wife loves the adjustable backrest so I don't won't to take it off unless I find a tourpack that is comfortable for her.

The price sure seems right!

We went with the BRP Top Case designed for the F3. It integrates beautifully onto the F3. It also has the same large backrest from a stock RT, as well as 2 more speakers. Also some of the aftermarket ones look like they are too far back. Just don't look right IMHO. Case, matching sides, amp came to $1700. A bit much. But, looks great. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Where did you get you shad case? I've tried to find it in the US and can't ever find it.

My case is a Shad 58X.

As it is in the picture, it is in it's smallest configuration. It can expand on 2 more different size. Really a great case and I really like the fit.

I've been looking at different options to add a top case on my F3T.

The BRP one is just way too expensive and way to cheap. Adding to that that my wife was not as confortable as she is with my actual backrest, I needed to find something else.

I wanted to keep the BRP Backrest so I haven't found any rack that fits my needs.

I ended up building one.



The beauty of it is that you can add a box or not and everything is still accessible.

I would prefer to keep the BRP passenger backrest like you did - your setup looks nice to me.

I need to find the rack already made or find someone near me to fab one that will work.

Givi Monokey Trunk

I used the MBL Innovations Luggage Rack with their Givi Monokey adapter to repurpose the Givi Monokey Trunk from my R1150R

Shad USA

Where did you get you shad case? I've tried to find it in the US and can't ever find it.

Hi,

I bought it from a dealer in Quebec.

But, in all my research, I've been in touch with someone from Shad USA. Maybe you can try to contact him ?

Hey nice job - do you have some detailed (how I did it) plans and links ?
