Thumbs down on Factory Luggage Rack - Any suggestions?

[deer30084]

There's no luggage rack that I know of that works with the Can Am adjustable passenger backrest installed.

can-am spyder f3 luggage rack

A friend of Mine makes this rack for the F3 and it's one tough strong rack

Does he make a rack without using the passenger seat? If so, how much are the luggage racks (over the real tire)?

My apologies for changing the topic, but the wife and I are planning on doing some long rides next year and the question came up do you folks UN-strap your stuff and take it with you into the restaurant to eat or just take your chances that somebody does not relieve you of the dry bags attached to your spyders.:chat:

Never done the unstrapping thing for restaurants. I do try to keep the bike parked where it is visible to me. Don't like people taking "test sits."

Overnight stays in the hotel--don't leave anything you don't want stolen. I mistakenly left the key in the ignition overnight in Fairbanks AK. After an hour of looking for the &^%$ key in the morning, went out to the parking lot--the :ani29:'s were there. :yes:

Replace the antenna

I have a friend that replaced their antenna with one of these & said reception is great. Around $10 on ebay (search for stubby antenna)

View attachment 155449Here's mine I use a top box and a dry bag on the passenger seat, no antenna problem at all.http://www.bakerbuiltairwings.com/proddetail.php?prod=SPYF3TLR

I had the Baker rack, excellent product, on my 16 F3. I had a Givi Top case, quick on and off. Changed to stubby antenna. My 17 F3 has stock trunk with rack on top

Do you have any photos. I just purchased the Luggage Racj from MBL Innovations.

This is the bag I use. Have the same rack.
The bag slides over back rest. Easy on and off. Can fit on rack or seat.

I picked up the BRP factory rack and it seemed a little light. But I have found it to be a nice, easy access place to store my travel cover and rain suit. Often I have a hard time finding my rain suit, so now I know exactly where to look and have quick access to it. When not traveling for a few days, I easily take it off.

MBL innovations makes a bigger level one. https://mblinnovations.com/shop?olsPage=t/can-am-spyder-accessories. I believe it also is made to work with Givi top case?

Definitely form over function.
