Looking good! :2thumbs::cheers: Tom :trike:

Looks to me like someone may very well have built a better mouse trap. That to me is an exellent example of what innovation can do. Job well done and I do hope that it solves your problems.

Well, it looks great john. Lets hope it helps :thumbup:

[Magdave]

I was thinking before this but just came up with an idea. It all looks good to me except the inside of the vent. I was going to make a suggestion before to paint it flat black and it just donned on me...duh.... Plastidip would look great behind the screen and be removable it you did not like it. Too bad it is not 90 deg so we can get a report on the effects. I also wonder the difference between those and the adjustable BRP vents. How much $$ do you have in the uppers? I hope you are not paying for the grommets I would be blaming BRP/dealer for them missing.

after i put them on i said the same thing. so i have the whole winter to take them off and paint the inside black

Cuzn, AWE-Freakin'-SOME!! :2thumbs: :firstplace:
If it works ten percent as good as it looks; it's a winner! :yes::ohyea::yes:

[3 Wheel Addict]

If that paint don't match you sure can't tell! Those look great :thumbup: They look factory installed.

Plastidip can peel off if you change you mind and it is some cool stuff. My Terrain has chrome mirrors and at certain times the sun's reflection blinds me so I taped it off a shot the offending area with some. Problem solved and it looks great. The finish is flat too.:thumbup:

[Chupaca]

awesome...now that you installed them you really can't see a difference. This is going to work I have no doubt. All the hard work and investment has paid off handsomely..congrats....:2thumbs:

[jerpinoy]

Awesome, where did you got them?

[cuznjohn]

like i said b4 it needs a lil tweaking because grommets were missing from when they did the heat fix. so i didn't put them on with all the screws because i need to replace the missing grommets and they were ordered today. so when they get here i will take it apart to replace the grommets and do the black paint on the inside of the vents. i am very happy with the way it looks now i just hope it helps a lil.

It will how much :dontknow: We will be needing some temp readings when it warms up. Maybe BRP should be sending us some :roflblack: Once again how much $$ for the uppers? Yellow (like white) is one of the easiest to match paint wise even a little off tint doesn't show much.

[cuznjohn]

upper vents are 595 canadian

I would hold off on the FB's they are a little busy (fugly?) I think you have done enough to at least measure the vents. When you doo to much at once you do not know what really helped. I thought I saw your post about pre painted ones how much did they charge extra for that option?

[Bob Denman]

Cuzn, those parts make your bike look completely different...
It's just full of ATTITUDE now! :2thumbs:

the floor boards are not till the end of next year but jene at vertika trikes said if he could get the paint from ppg he would charge 400 to paint them. but ppg could not match the paint because it is a 3 stage paint. base coat, paint and than clear coat. even the small touch up paint i bought from touch up direct came in 3 small bottles

[Magdave]

Here are the codes for 2013 any reputable shop( even a Chevy dealer GM uses PPG) should be able to paint them I think you got BS. Corvettes are sheet molded composite most car bumpers are same as the Tupperware. All GM cars are the same process it is the industry standard now.

the ppg code for my yellow was not the right color because i gave the painter this chart that is why he used the paint i bought from touch up direct

[Magdave]

My dealer has a paint machine that can look at the color and match it. I have used it to match colors on my Corvette. Their were 5 different shades used on it in the model year or they can use it to get a custom color. I know it sounds weird to take it to a Chevy dealer but mine has an awesome paint shop,independents not so much. Best part was they were cheaper than the independents and gave a lifetime warranty ( which unfortunately I used. One headlight cover tint did not match to my liking but they made it right.:thumbup:

[Highwayman2013]

Looks good John.

[ARtraveler]

Looking very good John. I am really liking the yellow color of your machine. I can't see any paint differences either. If you don't say anything, I don't think anyone will know. Hope this is the solution to your heat issues. :thumbup:

John, looks awesome! Congrats on a job well done.

[Dan McNally]

cuzjohn, your :spyder2: looks awesome! I can't wait to hear your first report on a summer day with it. I sure hope this has solved the heat issue for you. Those Vertika parts sure look great! :bowdown:

[Magdave]

FYI a tip on the grommets. Use a small tie wrap through them to the frame to hold them on. Things will still pop on but they will never escape again

[Bob Denman]

:agree: I glued mine in; just make sure that you do something to keep them in place! :thumbup:

[finless]

But the real question is..... Did it solve your heat issues?

Bob

42 degrees now and getting colder so time will tell

[Bob Denman]

Cuzn,
Face it; You're gonna have to ship the bike South, and report on your results! ;)

[cuznjohn]

the bike is apart again and i painted the inside of the upper vents and the top panels where they get mounted. i painted them flat black and they are down in the basement drying so if i get motivated tomorrow i will put them back together and take a few pictures
