I have a 2022 F3-L ordered due to arrive in Feb. My question is
Can the rear trunk be removed for a sporty look around town?
Can the rear trunk be removed for a sporty look around town?

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.

Yes, it can be removed. But you might have to purchase the cover to go with the link system. Congratulations on your new purchase.

I have not seen the 2022 but there was a really good video on YouTube but has been locked for previous years. Here is an ok video how to remove the truck for F3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4ihJHPQTbM. This was how it was I am guessing it has not changed.

2020 and up should have the removable trunk via the LinQ system. There is a dress up piece to cover where the trunk was. Not sure if they are color matched or just black. The black will look just fine, IMO of course.
PS: I do like the sporty (no rear trunk) look for around town. Been to lazy to do it for either of mine though. :yes:

Your post says you ordered an F3L. Most of the above responses are for RT's. If the 2022 F3 stays the same as the 2021 the answer is no. The topcase can be released to access the area underneath, but there is no provision for a cover. Also, the radio antenna wire to the front and a large ground wire are more or less permanent.

Ooooopsie. Thanks Jetfixer……not sure how I missed that it was an F3-L, but I obviously did.:gaah: . I’ll delete the content in my post.

:agree: Keep in mind that the 2016 F3L did not even have a trunk. But just like the F3T, the trunk could be added. If you want to add a trunk to the newer F3T, i am thinking you will have to add a 2018 or older trunk, which does not require the linq system.

Yes folks. It did say F3-L. I should have caught it too. I have two of them.
Did not know there was not a cover for the F3-L package. My information also was based on what I know about the RT. :bowdown:

It can definitely be done. For me, that cover for the rear would be the one item that I would negotiate with the dealership on including in the sale. I say that only because I know I would be wanting to ride without the trunk quite a bit. I would try the same thing with the 2020 and newer RT Limited.

I’m not sure I have read your email correctly, blacklightning, but the 20 and newer F3-L uses the LinQ system, so 20 and newer trunks should slot straight on (you mention an “older” than 2018 trunk, which is where I may have misinterpreted your comment)
Pete
ok thanks, still no one on here has done it, ive seen videos of removing the truck, but none for the removal and install of a 2020 and newer.. to cover the back after removal.

I have a 2021 F3T. I put a BRP trunk on my bike... I took off the rear cover and it sits in my garage... I don't plan on taking off my trunk... I don't think it would fit by just taking off the trunk. I had to put on a bracket which came with the trunk... If I remove the four bolts on the bracket that the LinQ system sits on then the rear cover off the F3T fits. I would think that the same would apply to the F3L but I'm not sure.

Does the ‘20+ F3-T actually come with the LinQ system under that back cover, Jbird? If it doesn’t, the design of the T and the L rear covers may, by necessity, be different:dontknow:

I'm surprised you, or anyone else who has responded, hasn't cited the 2022 Operator's Guide, https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/public/get_public_guide.php?idGuide=10990. Instructions for removing the top case are provided on page 40.
On the BRP website for LinQ accessories there is this rack that will go in the place of the top case if you want. https://can-am-shop.brp.com/on-road/us/en/219400743-top-case-rack.html. I don't find any info on a decorative panel to put in the place of the top case. Although, the implication from the description of the rack is that the RT panel may fit. The LinQ system appears to be the same for the F3 and RT and is a universal accessory mounting system. It is used across the board on BRP recreational vehicles, as well as other brands. With a deep search all over the place you may find a cover or panel that will blend well with the F3 when the top case is off.

That rack gets mounted on top on the top case, not after the top case is removed!? A cover is needed with some way to mount it after the top case is removed.
