I always find it interesting when there are brackets, but nothing in them. Any clue what could go in here? This is under the left cover next to the trunk release. :dontknow:

If you are facing the trunk, they are to the right. The cable in the picture is the release cable. I can try and take a better picture tomorrow.
Dang auto correct. I type frunk, but obviously I've missed it twice now. Sorry.
if I might throw a guess out , could this be the attachment area for the screen looking thing that is at the lower location of the oil tank/ add area , of the r-t `s ? ( that or this is part of the engine harness , for techs to put engine in and out , or handle it while in service ? )
you have 2 brackets in that area , mmmmmmmmmm wondering if there is something that can be purchased and also an add on that some models might be able to attach here ?
Thing he is referring to the two tabs sticking upward??
I was thinking sticking a frickin lazer in that area.
My dad's 2013 RT-S has a jump-start port in that location. Wish I had one.
Now that's cool!
The other thing is that these units are made for the international market and european models for one have some different requirments. There could be something they use elsewhere that goes there that is not used here...:dontknow: they make just one frame and then build it accordingly like the wiring harnesses having plugs not used....
Joel is correct. The 2013 RT models had positive and negative jump start posts on a bracket there. It was a one year only feature. Maybe BRP engineers determined there wasn't enough call to jump start Spyders to justify the cost of having it there.
It sounds like y'all cleared it for me, thank you! :2thumbs:
Not quite. The 2010 - 2012 RTs have the battery in the rear but no jumper posts. The 2013 has the battery in the front and the jumper posts. 2014 on have the battery in the front and no jumper posts. Go figure!!
The jumper posts on the 2013 were great for connecting accessory power cables!
They did have jumper posts: under the seat! :thumbup:
I wondered about that as I didn't think the battery was that accessible, but I didn't see any indication of them on the parts diagram pic of the positive and ground cables. Maybe I just didn't look close enough! Or, I guess I could've looked in the owner's manual! They're shown there but labelled terminals, not posts.
The battery was hidden behind the left saddlebag... The jumper terminals were actually a pretty necessary item on these bikes.
Remember the fun that you could have; after loosening the screws that were in the terminals? (Try getting a wrench underneath them in order to tighten them back up... :gaah:)
