It's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2009 CAN AM SPYDER GS

[tecnodog7]

May be worth keeping them as the panniers unclip so you can leave them off for normal riding and just stick them on when you need them. In my case I have them to carry an extra 20 litres of gas (two 5 litre cans on each side) petrol stations can be far apart on some of the routes I take.

Anyway congrat's on your new Spyder and have fun.

That's a good idea. I haven't tried to unclip them to see how they look. If it still looks sporty then it might just be worth keeping them. I'm not sure if i'll be taking alot of out of state trips or not so that's why if i'm only riding around locally then saddlebags don't make much sense.

The saddle bags themselves are standard Givi V35's that Can-am rebadged (so if you need parts look for Givi V35s). There's two types of frame for them, the official Can-am one and the Givi one - there are differences in them and the Can-am ones are far less visible when the bags are removed - I've got the Givi frame but looking at your photos I think you have the Can-am which will look tidier.

The saddle bags are really easy to remove - Unlock and leave the key in. Press second button (between the key and the Spyder) and pull the panniers towards you by the handle, this should release the panniers at the top. Then just lift off.
