Review on 🧳 SAUTVS Aluminum Saddlebag Rack for Can-Am Ryker: All Models Luggage Bag Rack Kit (Replace #219400856) - Black Accessories by Christopher Hicks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It requires brute force and creativity

This may be the fifth add-on I've bought for my Rikers. If this isn't the first program you've installed, then you're used to the terrible instructions that come with all those pieces. Knowing this, I knew that implementation could be an unspoken requirement. The product consists of 3 sections; one that attaches easily to the back of the seat with or without a maximum number, one that connects to the edge of the seat (for support), and another that connects all three. This element connects to the underside of the first element and connects to the seat support element. Personally, I have the maximum mount and footrests for the passenger, I could not use the second element. Instead, I had to wedge one side and then friction-lock the other side. Put together it looks solid and pretty cool, and while the third element needs to be forced, it looks like it came on a bike. It comes with silver screws which I found odd so I found some black screws instead. You will need to remove the screws under the seat as they connect the mount to the bike. In fact, there is no instruction worth looking for. So take it from me; Freely attach the item to the back of the bike. If you don't have footrests, this item easily connects with the two screws provided. If you have footrests, secure the item behind the pedal, there is actually a small groove you can put it in, then push the item down a bit to release it from the bike and apply pretty hard pressure on the pedal part. an object protruding from behind the bike. You can also press this at the same time. Another option would be to remove the footpegs, but that's a waste of time unless you're sure, just do it. Haven't bought a saddlebag yet as I wanted to make sure this part would work, look good and be comfortable with everything before spending more money. I used to carry a backpack everywhere and it was fine until I added a seat in the back. This provides good lower back support, but it's also what snags the bag and makes it quite uncomfortable. So I had to get that extra storage. A difficult compromise as I never normally get an 'old' piece this way, but while it looks good it's very durable and looks cool as is! Will be updated after receiving the saddlebag.
