• 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.

RT Saddle Bag suitcases...

Can anyone give me the external dimensions for the Can-Am suitcases (aka Soft Side Cargo Travel Bags) that fit the saddle bags. Not that the Can-Am price (for two) is that outlandish, just thought that if I have the measurements I might stumble upon a deal somewhere.

I got a deal on a set of BRP soft bags for the saddles, which I like for touring… but I had an old set from my GL1500, which worked just fine, I also has some old mini-duffles that were give-aways at a trade show, which worked, but didn't fully fill the saddlebags….
 
Bag Dimensions

I went out and measured the BRP Soft Bags and following are the approximate measurements that you were asking about;

Width = 15 inches
Height = 11 inches
Depth = 6 inches
 
Spyder saddlebags

I recently bought a set of Kopnel saddlebag Liners ( HSL- Metric Touring Liners) from Motor Cycle Superstore and they fit fine got them for Maggie Valley Event and a set of 3 duffel type for rear Trunk...:thumbup:..

Freebob,
In checking the specs on the HSL-Liners it shows they are 20" long. Is there a lot of excess when fitting them in so that you would have to be careful when packing them to not fill them too full?
Also it says they are 5.5" wide and there is approx 10" on the right side bag. Do you think 2 would fit in on that side?
How does the left side fit with that battery space useing some area up?
Thanks -- Looking to get a set, but I want to get the closest fit. BRP overpriced!!!

I have been thinking about these, seem to be close to perfect @L-14"/H-10"/D-9" ... $60 plus ship. How much are Can Ams soft bags ? Have just a hair under 9"D on bottom of left case when opened

Yup just found the can am soft bags on their web site. $55. Wonder why they made them only 6" deep as posted above. Seems the 9" BMW bags would carry more and fit better ???? But it would be nice to find some kind of servicable bag for $10-15, if ya know what I mean.:popcorn:

Got the can am bags...whatever I can stuff in them, know they will fit just perfectly. That way don't have to unpack because I used a bag that wasn't designed for my RT..and then decide what to eliminate :gaah:... figured for me it was waaaaay cheaper to buy a set of bags that controlled my
stuff...then buying that trailer to take alllll the stuff I feel "must go with"...:clap:
 
Got the Can-Am soft side cargo bags and soft bag for frunk for my birthday:yikes::yikes::yikes::yes::yes::yes:
 
Keep in mind,,, the dept of your two saddle bags is not the same!! One is a few inches deeper (or thicker if you prefer) than the other. :yikes:

Thanks for the info I had not realized this ,just picked them up this morning and here they are :
The bag for the frunk is a tight fit so you will not be able to too much stuff in it so that leaves out the kitchen sink ,everything else should fit:roflblack::roflblack:
The quality of the bags are good but the zippers are not heavy duty , I would like to see heavy duty zippers like on jackets.
