R-35 Saddle Bags

[dguisinger]

The bags are identical (mirror images) the reflectors are held in by the color panels, so they can be lost if you ride before the panels are installed. they can also fall out on the garage floor or the packaging.

The reflector definitely isn't anywhere to be found, I haven't begun mounting anything yet.

Guess I'll have to demand my money back.

You can buy a replacement reflector from GIVI.

I'm assuming I'd have to call them? Their spare parts in their online store doesn't include reflectors.
I see they have 3 models of the V35, is there a particular one that Can-Am used?

I don't know...you'd have to call them. Other owners have reported here that they have obtained replacement reflectors from GIVI.

I purchased these a couple of years ago as my used v-35's came without the reflectors.

The number was different completely... Neither the current RS or 2013 RS/ST versions.
I called the store up, they said it was the 2009 model year, but that they should fit the 2012.
Is this true? Or do the 2012 units include something to make them work on the 2009?

Maybe its as simple as the older ones said GS and the newer ones had a new model because of new packaging and instructions saying RS?

Anyone ever figure this out? Im trying to figure out which kit to order. Ive seen pictures of the kits that have the large turn signal stalks up high, but apparently there are some that mount the turn signals down low off of the rear fender? Just ordered the sport fender and need to make sure I dont end up with the kit that mounts on the old fender.

Also, if i end up getting rid of the turn signals all together using the custom dynamics triple play, can i get rid of the turn signal stalks or are they necssary for the racks to function properly?

The Givi mounting bracket is bolted on and the turn signals are mounted to the fender. The BRP mounting bracket has quick release quarter turn hardware and the turn signal stocks are extended up.

Get the givi led turn signal kit from one of the light venders and eliminate the turn signals - cleans everything up nicely

Are the brp signal stalks removable and/or required for the racks to function?

Required. The rack attachment point is actually part of the signal extender stalk.

How would you eliminate the turn signals if the stalks are a mounting point for the racks?
Sorry for all the questions...

I don't know whether this helps, but these are the mounting points for the monkey rack on my ST Ltd. There are 3 mounting points, one at the bottom of the indicator extension stalk, one in the black grille cover and the last one is mounted directly below the black grille cover where one of the rear wheel cover bolts goes.

that's what it looks like

For my wife's bike we bought the aftermarket Givi bracket. They were much cheaper. I cut down existing turn signals to fit between the bags and the side panels they fit on. The other idea I had was to put LED light strips on each side of the rear panels to act as the turn signals. But, I then decided to cut down the signal lights and put red LED strips for extra brake lights instead.

 

[msj4848]

How did you get the bags without the brp racks? Or did you get aftermarket bags too?

 

[bscrive]

The BRP bags are just Givi V35 bags. We bought used bags on EBay and bought the aftermarket racks for the Spyder. You can just buy the color lids to match your Spyder if you don't just want all black bags. You can buy new bags for about $450 on EBay. The Givi racks are about $200.

I bought my set of racks from this guy.

The BRP rack stalks are a welded part of the rack so they would need to be cut off to remove them and bottom portion includes one of the fastening points but you could cut around that and remove the stalks but it would be a lot of work and then you would need to figure out how to attach your turn signals.
