Hi, all. I purchased a 2013 RS-S a week before Christmas with the idea I would slap some saddlebags on her prior to Spyderfest in Springfield MO. I found out, this week, that BRP has discontinued those bags. While they show as available on BRP's site, BRP does not have any in their warehouse and will not be ordering any additional. I know this because I ordered a set and had the bags canceled. I called BRP and they gave me the contact information for four dealers that showed as having the item; however, I called and all four had already sold them. The part number is 291400351. Does anybody have any idea where I might be able to grab a set? Without the extra storage space, my son and I are going to be cramped on our rides.

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.

There were some on Amazon and Ebay. I'd go there, put the part number in and do a search. BRP has basically left the RS and ST owners with very little in the way of accessories since stopping production on those models. The only bonus is....if you can find accessories for these models they are typically heavily discounted.
I think Shad produces luggage for the F3, but not the RS series. Givi discontinued their brackets some time ago for the RS (I am sure BRP had something to do with that). I am able to find the older 219400301 kits, but they only show fitment through 2012. Does anyone know if that part will work on the 2013? I just don't know enough about the underpinnings of a 2012 versus a 2013 to know if the 219400301 will work in place of the newer 219400351.

Hard Saddle Bags for 2013 RSS
CE Schmutz, The hard saddle bags you're looking for are on E-Bay as V35 GIVI saddle bags and also on Revzillz under the name GIVI Monokey Tech Panniers. These are the same as I installed on a 2013 RSS about a year ago. They were purchased from a Can Am dealer with mounting brackets. Used to see them on E-Bay quite frequently. They are definitely the hard side cases (saddlebags) for your 2013 RSS. May have to search for mounting brackets though. Try the WTB section under forums. Someone may have some info. Good luck with your search. Revzilla.com. Computer won't correct the spelling for some reason.

Thank you, juscuz. I appreciate the input and am aware that the V35 is the same bag. As you rightly point out, the brackets are the problem. I will continue my search and will post an update if anything worthwhile happens. As it stands, I have two dealers that were going to check for me as they thought they might have a set tucked away somewhere. Failing that, I may paint a couple of milk crates satin black and strap them on

Mutazu bags
Some folks have had good reports using these bags from Mutazu...

My dealer said he had to call about a dozen others to find my Givi bags over the holidays...

Thank you, Raprider. If all else fails, the Mutazu bags will be an option for me. A couple of folks on this forum have done a great job with the mounts and give me some hope and inspiration; however, I worry about my ability to mount them without the entire assembly looking cobbled together.

Check with my dealer. Team CC in Eagle River and Team CC in Wasilla. I think I saw a pair hanging on the wall in Eagle River last summer. :yes:
Found Them!
After calling multiple dealers with no luck, I called large dealership in California. They didn't have any; however, they were kind enough to check their dealer network and showed one location in the U.S. that reported inventory. I contacted that dealer and, sure enough, they had one set languishing away in their warehouse. They sold them to me at a smoking price to "get rid" of them. I ordered the inserts separately and look forward to spending some quality time on the back end of my bike in a couple of weeks. Winning.

Hard to Find, but Found Them
Turkman,
See post #11, above. I did manage to find them, but it was a long and arduous search. Best of luck to you. By the way, it is important to not over-tighten the brackets that mount up against the underside of the inner-fender/tail section. I broke a stud with my over-exuberance. The parts are, obviously, discontinued so I had to grind off the head, punch out the threaded section and weld a new stud in. Works great. Unfortunately, the right bag would not seat with my aftermarket Two Brother exhaust, so I had to put it back to the stock exhaust, which honestly looks pretty darn good. Again, good luck with your quest.
