• 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.

I use Walmart bags myself. No extra weight and when they wear out, just go to Wally World to get new ones. For bigger bags there is a company named Hefty that makes some heavy duty ones, but their colors are limited. :roflblack:

I bought the whole BRP "ball of wax" when I purchased the 2010 RT-S. My overall impression was that it was pretty cheesy for the price. That said, I have used the luggage on a couple trips and have had no problems with it. It does fit the saddlebags and trunk perfectly. I also use the rolling frunk bag to carry my books and other papers when I have classes. The bag gets used weekly--sometimes twice a week--shows no signs of failure after almost three years of use.

For the 2011--we use wally world stuff sacks.

My suggestion: it boils down to your individual taste.
 
I have a RT LTD that came with the luggage and I like it. That said, I am considering getting the BestemUSA bags. I had them for my BMW K1200LT and loved them. Soft side let you get a bit more in them & the side cases as well as save a bit of weight.

I use luggage called DRY Sacks or Dry Bag

A dry bag is a type of bag which seals in a watertight manner. Dry bags are often used in kayaking, canoeing, rafting, and other outdoor activities where sensitive items would otherwise get wet as well as extreme sports such as skiing and snowboarding. They are often a construction of plastic film, plastic-coated fabric or waterproofed fabric which is formed to create an impermeable, water-ingress protected bag. When using a dry bag, it is vital to ensure the roll top closure is folded at least three times, to create a watertight seal. Construction techniques include welding, sewing (where a seam-tape is used to seal over any needle-holes) and gluing.

The good thing about these they can mould themselves to the shape of the Rear sidecases esp as the LHS sidecase of the Spyder RT becaue it is smaller due to the cut out for the battery - I understand the 2013 RT will not have this problem as the Battery has be moved to the front trunk
When the top is folded over this creates a handle for carrying the Dry Sack so there are no straps etc which can also take up unneccessry room

The Dry sacks are also useful for carrying waterproofs as they can be put in there after use and if they are still damp
they will not affect any other items in the Sidecases
Dry Sacks come in various sizes inc small ones for Cameras etc so you can get ones for the Sidecases, Front and Rear trunks if needed and prices are a lot less than OEM Luggage
