Have you seen the Outrageous cost of Spyder accessories!?!

[vito1943]

I occasionally get emails from Can Am, as I sure most of you do. Normally I just delete them without reading them, but today's email was about luggage accessories. I have an RT, not an RTL, and while between the frunk and the side cases I have never needed more storage room, I thought it might be worthwhile to see about a fitted soft luggage bag for the back deck (where the trunk sits on the Limited). The ad included some nice items, but the prices were outrageous in my opinion. As a comparison, I recently bought a set of soft saddle bags for my new Royal Enfield Hunter 350, and the bags that I got for right around $100 are super well made and designed to fit and look great on this smallish motorcycle. The Can Am item, on the other hand (LinQ accessories) is a semi-rigid bag, but for $449! $150 looks more reasonable, maybe $200, but not $449. This reminds me of Harley Davidson accessories which are ridiculously priced just to have the HD logo on the item.

I think I will look elsewhere for a rear bag, or just bungee one of the many bags I have accumulated over the decades for use on other motorcycles and not bother trying to find the perfect one for that space.

Hopnel is the magic word. VERY GOOD stuff for the money. Check out Lamonster Garage. :yes:

Now that would be a thread with legs! The moderators might need to burn some midnight oil keeping it clean though...
