Has anyone mounted the aluminum Can-am Sport Rack on the rear of a Spyder RS? Would it be sturdy enough to hold a top trunk? Thank's

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.

That's a Givi Monolock base I had bolted on. I now have a Monokey base bolted on for the Givi Monokey Maxia top box. There are angle frame pieces between the Givi base & the sportrack. It is the angle frame pieces that are bolted onto the sportrack & the Givi base then bolts onto the angle pieces. At least that's how I did it.

Now I have the Maxia 52 litre box on I am "very" satisfied. You just have to find the appropriate pieces (2) of metal to put between the sport rack & the Givi baseplate. Sorry, but I don't have pics of those. No concerns or hassles.

Hi ridercoach,
Re: Has anyone mounted the aluminum Can-am Sport Rack on the rear of a Spyder RS? Would it be sturdy enough to hold a top trunk?
I posted most of these photos in another thread; this is a home-built luggage rack:
And here is how I reinforced the back side of the Sport Rack top plate:
I used two pieces of 2" x 1/8" flat stock, cut to fit.
I do not know if these will work or not. But they do spread the stresses out over a larger area and hopefully that will be sufficient.
If you have any questions, just drop me a line; or ask to look at it at SITR. That is if it makes it that far, :thumbup:

Yes. I hope so.
That's how I mounted my "Really Big Butt" and hold my Ham Radio antenna on my RS!

Givi won't match the keys either but for the top case I put in a lock that is the same as what is in the side cases and keyed it the same. I had to do some careful filing and it was a bit of work but now all 3 of my cases use the same key.
