    Default RT Air Scoops

    Got em installed! Excuse the mess! Followed Doc's & BRP instructions. I did have the dealer cut it for me, was well worth the $50 they charged me. Cannot wait to test.

    Default Air scoops

    Installed them on my 2014 RTS and have been happy ever since. You will find that the heat is no longer in your glove box or between the glove box and seat. MUCH cooler.

    They do work. Interesting how such a simple thing can make such a difference. I know that they - along with the other work done as part of the 2013 RT recall - made a huge difference with the heat problems on my 2013 RTL. You will be glad that you did it.

    Default Covers

    Make sure the plastic caps that cover the holes for the two bolts are seated properly. They are a little bit of a bugger to get clipped in. I saw a lot of pictures of the new vents and those covers were missing.

    Yeah I pushed and pushed on them. Hopefully they stay in!

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!

    No, they only come in gloss/flat black. You can, however, paint them to match the color of your Spyder.

    There was a single part number (219800388) awhile ago, but now the parts must be ordered individually. Check here, https://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oemp...management-kit You will need the parts starting with #149. Don't forget to order Left and Right side.

    Whoo, stop. I just found them on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Can-Am-Spyder.../dp/B079S6B78J
