The BRP full cover is pricey, but well made and fits like a glove. Not for traveling though because it's heavy and bulky.

Several other choices available in light weight full covers. This is one;

Agree...

:agree: Many travel with the half cover. Nelson Riggs has good covers and I see many use the goldwing cover which will cover all but the front wheels. There may be others out there.:thumbup:

Thanks for the info. I am looking to purchase a 2017 RT this coming week. Moving from a Goldwing to the Spyder. Are there any must have items you recommend adding to Spyder that you would add first?

I suggest you start a new thread to ask that question. You'll get lots of opinions!

If you are traveling, I highly recommend a half cover versus a full cover. It takes up less cargo space but fully covers both seats, the steering/dash area and windscreen from any heavy dew or rain. They also go on and off very quickly. There are several choices but i really like out Can Am BRP one.

In my opinion covers take up too much cargo space so I don't carry one when I travel. I travel a lot and have never had an issue with my Spyder not being covered.

I think the Triaxial handlebars and towing kit are probably must-haves if you're thinking about touring.

If you're moving from two wheels to three I suggest you log 500 - 1,000 miles on the Spyder before you begin thinking about adding "basic necessities" and farkles. I use a Nelson Rigg half cover and like it.

I'm also a new owner and enquired about Can Am's OEM cover . A friend who had swapped from a Goldwing to an RT said his Ultraguard half cover from the Goldwing was a very good fit and only required a hole to be made for the antenna.
At one third the price of the OEM one it was no contest. Covers all but the nose.

I bought a ultraguard and used it for a year before the Florida sun destroyed it. Fit was good, but it only lasted a year and the red color transferred somewhat into the BRP logos on the frunk and rear giving them a tint. I replaced it with the BRP which has outlasted it by a good bit. After a year it shows no deterioration.

Bottom line is if I needed another I would definitely go with the BRP

Can you elaborate on BRP logos please. Do you mean the emblems or some you have added. Do you think it was the Florida sun that caused the destruction and colour transfer.

The BRP lgog's on the front trunk lid and the rear trunk lid (both original) somehow absorbed a little of the red from the Ultra-guard cover giving them both a reddish tint. Not really a big deal, and it didn't seem to affect anything else. My garage is my woodworking shop so my vehicles must be kept outside. The sun here is brutal so I am sure that accelerated the deterioration. Compared to my boat covers and a cover over a gazebo, the ultra-guard did not survive long. The BRP seems to be holding up just fine.

BRP's half-cover works really well for me! :clap:

I sold my RT and got an F3. I have both the BRP full cover and the BRP 1/2 cover. Depending on where you live, I will sell both to you for $125 shipped.

i have the cover from can am built well fits perfectly worth the money.

 

[DonTheDude]

I have the ultra guard 4 that I bought from amazon for $69. It has held up well for a year now. You could travel with it but it would cost you the full volume of a side bag. For travel I would recommend a half cover. Or, you could just carry a dish towel like I do and wipe moisture from your seat.

Perfect fit

Nelson-Rigg half cover fits perfect with my safety chrome Rivco rack. It is the perfect rack to hold two rain suits and the cover.

I have the BRP full cover that fits my 2014RTS-SE6, it is heavy duty, and custom fit, soft cover( inside) to protect windshield, straps/buckles to secure cover, have had cover for 5 years, has no holes, wears well. It is a good a cover for inside/outside storage.


I also have a 1/2 cover ( BRP) for traveling, light weight , covers windshield, seat, covers rear trunk, compact enough to carry on trips etc. Has its own carrying bag. Have had the 1/2 cover for 3 years, has straps/buckles to secure cover to bike. Deanna
