Chrome Heat shield and Exhaust Tip

[billythekidd]

I bit the bullet and bought the accessory from BRP and it came today. I was pleased that it only took 2 and a half months to get it. Got home replaced the exhaust tip and went for the heat shield and just had to smile. The third bold is under the right saddlebag and I had to remove the right side panel to get to it. Not a big deal, but just one of those scratch your head times....

You are 100% right about that 3rd bolt! I told that to a guy today at SpyderFest and you could see his heart sink! He's not in the mood to remove tupperware to put in one bolt.

BUT... the end results are pretty cool looking!

You want a challeng ? Try doing the chrome handle bar cover or the foot peg support .

I think BRP missed the boat on the chrome by not offering it as a option on a built bike off the production line .

Yeahhhhh about those.... I looked at Lamonster's and.... nope! I'm a geek not a glutton for punishment

Perhaps they should have simply installed all of the chrome goodies on the Limited model to further differentiate it from the RTS???
How about some pics of the chromed-out exhaust...
I need to dangle another project in front of my Missus in order to start her screaming...

So, for the foot peg support, any tips or tricks or special tools I might need? I am thinking about getting them today.

Wow, your missus is easy going! Here is an example of a recent Spyder mod conversation at our happy home..

Me: "Honey, I was thinking.."

Her: " NO AND THAT'S FINAL! NOW GO CUT THE LAWN OR SOMETHING!"

Me: "Yes,dear"

Here is the way it goes at my house-- Honey, I was (she gives that look with her eye brows raised) and I finish with going to mow the grass.

For those thinking of doing the Handlebar... Please see this link as I have posted the Instructions. As far as I am concerned this is a weekend job that would include folks adding the electronic air horns, and HID's and power commanders as the front end is pretty well torn down to say the least.

Also... As I looked into the foot rest area I learned the the drivers side is very easy to do, but the passenger side requires a serious amount of the tuppeware to be removed and I guess part of the brake mechanism??? Sorry, no instructions... I decided to wait on that one

[Bob Denman]

Phil, Thanks! They look great... now I'm gonna be in more trouble!

Draboo & ItsIts... Wow! They must have been triplets!

Looks really good. I like the lower chrome. That must get lite up really nice with your lights under the passenger footrest.

That spyder website only had the handlebars, how about the other chrome parts? Is it easier to order it from a dealer?

[Bob Denman]

Anything's available on the internet! Take a peek in EBay to see if the prices are better...

Not sure what you mean by only the handlebars.... If you look around the site they have all the chrome that BRP has available.

I'd like to "pull the trigger" on these farkles, but am always nervous about the mechanical nightmares that I may cause. does anybody have a set of instructions for the chome tip and heat shield that they could maybe fax to me??
PM me please...
Thanks!

[fastfraser]

Bob I think if you go to the BRP accessories they have a tab for installs .

[Bob Denman]

Thanks! I'll go dig around over there and see if I can get an eye on it...

[Hawk]

Arrrgggg!!! Why BRP, why!!! The instructions don't even mention having to take the tupperware off!!! Guess I need to go back outside to install the 2 screws I just took out!!!! Curse you BRP!!! I will tackle it over the weekend I guess.

[Hawk]

I tried jacking up my Spyder last night for the first time to see if maybe the back swingarm would come down enough to get my hand in there. No go. Just fyi in case someone else tries it. I am taking it in for the 6000 mile service next week, wonder how far they tear it down for that service. Probably not that far. I will mention it to them just in case.

After my wife saw a 2012 Limited she wanted these chrome items. I was sending a couple racks to my chrome shop and decided to send the heat shield and muffler tip along too.
The parts returnd looking beautiful in just a couple of weeks and the cost was at least $100.00 cheaper than buying the BRP parts.

While sitting in the dealer's yesterday, I spent about an hour behind the South end of Limited that was pointed North... Those exhaust parts do keep looking prettier and prettier...
