Are you talking about the BRP seat, rack, and tank bags (and the rolling trunk bag) for the RS? We have the seat bag, and it is nice for commuting and small daytrips. It can even carry a laptop computer. Water resistant, but not waterproof. Has to be loosened to fill gas tank. For lengthy trips I prefer a completely waterproof bag like the Helen2Wheels, Seal-Line, or Ortlieb. They hold a tremendous amount of gear, are available in either end or side opening, and strap across the seat nicely.

The BRP tank bag we have is of limited size and value. Mars the tank, especially in wet weather, unless you add a foam rubber pad beneath for protection. Same water-resistant, not waterproof construction. No map pocket. No rain cover. The new Nelson-Rigg Spyder tankbag is probably better, and is cheaper.

No experience with the Sport Rack bag, but it is similar to the seat bag. None with the rolling trunk suitcase, either, but it does eat up all that valuable trunk space. I prefer to add bags elsewhere.

Still not sure what bag you are talking about. All fit any model and year of RS, and all are semi-rigid, except the rigid R-35 saddlebags. The entire line is shown here, with pictures and descriptions. Beyond that, there is some aftermarket stuuf that fits.

A couple of others have the Cortech bag for their Spyders. I just got one for Christmas - very nice! I think NelsonRigg posted a thread that they make one too - I think you can get Cortech saddle bags. Anyway, they don't cost a rediculous price.

It looks like they fit into the rigid bags like Givi.

At least it looks like the last statement says that.

If you lived closer and if you wanted a set of cortech saddlebags, you could have mine (free). I've used a very few times; I also had extension straps sewn on. There's nothing wrong with them. I purchased a kuryakyn gran tour bag that fits nicely behind the BRP sport rack.

The bags you are referring to are semi-rigid insert bags for the Spyder RT. They fit inside the built-in saddlebags. They can then be removed, and carried into the motel, or wherever. They cannot be used as stand alone bags, will not fit the Givi bags, and are for use with the Spyder RT version, only.
