My wife recently purchased an 15 F3. Of course she wants bags. What aftermarket bags seem to work best? Needs to be big enough to hold a helmet.

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.

Agree with above. Aftermarket Ghost brackets allow many different type of Viking bags, but I don't think any of them allow fitment of a FF helmet. I have the Shad set up, and it swallows my LS2 Valiant II modular with no problem. Another option is a luggage rack such as Lamonster Packrack or Spyder Accessories. You can then add a top case/bracket of your choice...

I have a 2015 F3 SE6. I put on Easy Brackets on with Leatherworks, Inc., 120 Special Slight Angle Saddlebags a few years ago. One of the vendors on here sells that set up already done and all you have to do is mount it on the bike. I ordered the two separate a few years ago and put them together myself. I have been very happy with them. I never tried to put a helmet in them, but without trying, I know a half helmet would fit.

Thanks all. My wife is asking if anyone has photos they are willing to share of a base F3 with the Shad bags and/or the Givis. Also, since she will often be the passenger she is asking if anyone has some with a height challenged passenger riding with the bags on so she has a reference. Thanks all again!

This is my Shad bags on my 2019 F3. I often travel with the right one off, so to get the Spyder closer to the garage wall, which makes getting on and off the bike easier. With both bags on, I usually put my left foot on the left footpeg, but not ideal due to the forward location of the peg. I am considering running boards for this purpose.
