F3 Ltd - what kind of luggage bags do you use? Or a rack & extra bag?

Hey all,

I'm looking to do some overnights and want to know what kind of luggage or bags you guys use. I'm debating on the spyderpops bags, hopnel bags, OEM bags, etc. Also debating on a luggage rack for the top case and an extra bag. Does anyone have experience or advice? My wife and I will both be traveling. 2019 F3 Limited.

Thanks in advance.

The hard side luggage from Can am is good, but I prefer the soft side hopnel bags. You can fit more stuff in them than with the hard luggage. But, if you need to be carefull that you don't put too much stuff in them and then not be able to close the saddle bags, trunk, or frunk properly. In the case of the RT models, you might be able to close the saddle bags, but then have a hard time opening them, as the latch will give you trouble. Good luck shoping.
 
We used a complete set (4) hopnel bags in our two F3L's as liners/suitcases. I could see them being used as bags without the plastic. Well built and our two and three year old sets were just like new when we included them as part of the package with the sale of the F3's.

We now consider $1000 dollar bags made of plastic as a joke that the motorcycle industry got away with a few times with me. :lecturef_smilie:
 
I bought a Sea to Sky thinking I was getting a custom set of semi hard shell bags with the deal. When the company eliminated the bags as part of the S2S deal I bought a set of four Hopnel bags and glad I did. I think there is less wasted space in the softer more flexible bags and the price is great also.

I'm having a hard time finding hopnel bags for the saddlebags. Is it the hopnel 860?
 
I have bought the Show Chrome Trunk Rack for my '17 RT-L; my '19 F3-L; and I now have one for my '22 RT-L. We like them.

I think the Shad Bag is better than the others. I easily can pack a week's worth of clothes into it without having problems... It's a very sturdy bag.

Back in the day when I was doing 'long rides', stuff bags worked for me. Hit the big box sport store, or Amazon for a source. Stuff bags are inexpensive, you can get lots of 'stuff' in them, easily for a week or more, even for two up. Rolling clothes works well. Stuff bags are a little more difficult to work with, but once you get used to it you know how it goes. If you have a rack, there are many water proof bags that will will on the rack. One advantage of stuff bags is they come in different sizes.
Starting with thr 2020 RTL, 47 gallons of luggage space is good.
