Looking into buying the Air Scoop kit for my 2014 RTL, I looked up the number here and the forums say BRP# 219800388 is what I need. Anyone know if these kits are still around and where I can order it from?

Thank You!!
Just something to consider .... you have a 2014 with the 1330 engine and where you are going to put those " scoops " were designed for the engine HEAT to exhaust from ..... with the SCOOPS you are now forcing air IN ..... I went to a Parade with my 2014 RT in 98 degree heat ..... it took ONE hour at just above idle ( but mostly stopped ) to complete .... It didn't overheat ............. I have NO SCOOPS ..... the SCOOPS were designed as a fix for the 2013 RT which had the V-Twin ...... best of luck .... Mike

You're right Mike. The BRP adjustable vents are a better option for the 14 as you can either direct air on you or away from you.

I just installed mine today. See my post and pic's above this thread. They really do a good job of cooling glove box and drivers part of seat. You will get 2 support bars with kit to mount where acoustic panels were. You also get stick on insulation you put on inside of painted panel. I found the bike to be quieter. Always heard engine noise out of the top vents. Now that's covered and grill/vent is out front now.

Only have a picture of the left side but the right side is basically the same. Nice thing about the right side is if you change your own oil the oil filter cap is already exposed.

Whoa ...... this could be a game changer ..... are you saying you can remove the right side scoop ( easily ) and get to the Oil Filter ?????? ( on 14 and up RT's ) ............ Mike

Yes. As part of the scoop install procedure the acoustic panels are removed and replaced by the metal bracket. All RT's from 2010 to present models can benefit from having the air scoops installed. But then again you slammed the Member that started this post that asked a simple question as to where he could get the scoop kit.
This is for you Mike. I know you don't believe in posting pictures.
SLAMMING - OTHER MEMBERS - WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

# 1. Thanks for the pic .... it shows that just removing the Vent / Scoop will absolutely NOT give you access to the OIL FILTER and # 2. If you think my Post # 3 slammed the OP ..... then you probably think " GOOD MORNING " is a derogatory term .. .........Mike

The scoop is screwed to the upper panel per the instructions in the recall document. Do you need a copy of the recall document? Therefore as the picture shows the upper panel is removed thus exposing the 36 mm hex cap for the oil filter. Simple to get to, Remove the mirror and 5 screws and pop the panel off. How much easier do you want it? Read your post #3 again. You jumped all over the place stating the 14 and above RT's don't need the scoops. Live in the deep South or Gulf Coast where we get high temps and high humidity which translates into high heat index. I didn't do any shouting (capital letters) like you do to get a point across.

Put the scoops on last year. Riding in the south was just to hot. They really helped cool down the seat, glove box and side panels making riding in the heat a lot more comfortable.
I have a 2014 RTS and have installed the scoops. Have found that the glove box is much cooler, repeat much cooler. The air that used to come up between the glove box and seat is gone. Also the Spyder seems to be much less noisy. The metal bar used to replace the large plastic piece also lessens the weight.

Hi Larry, I'm putting the air scoops on my 2014 RT finishing today. My question is sense you did remove the acoustic panels is there more engine noise now then before? Thanks, Neil
I bought the kit, didn't realize I had to drill holes . The glovebox was getting super heated, I had to let my sunglasses cool off before I could put them on, and the cellphone was really hot. I figured the included insulation would cool the side panels (my legs) a bit also.
UNBOX
Wow what cheap plastic! black ABS for the main body, dark Lexan (?) for the front scoop. I saw in a years time a huge faded scoop, and super scratched up lexan nose piece. So, since it's already black, out came the PlastiDip! Put a lot of layers on, let dry overnite.
INSTALL
Kit came with no instructions, so found the heat kit instructions here, they cover the scoop at the end. The instructions give you a template to cut the vent hole open more to match the scoop. I was scared to do so, but since the panels have holes in them now, I may go back and open them up if airflow isn't great. I think at 70mph there should be plenty of air being pushed across the engine and glovebox area.
The instructions say to use a spray paint can tube (like a WD40 tube) and some paint to mark the panel, once you have the scoop pressed against it tightly. I have a "dental tool" kit, I just located the best I could and put a poke in the paint. The fun part is after that, you have to go back and forth and guess where the actual drilled hole goes. I started with a 1/16" bit and guessed - all wrong. I used the dental tool to poke through the hole into the scoop to see how far off I was, then re-drilled. Once I got it, used the bigger drill bit. A couple times I had to file a smidge. I only installed 3 screws, one top, bottom and rear. I remembered after I was done (of course!) the trick of using lipstick on the holes, and pressing against the panels so I could actually see where the hole goes. Dunno if it would work, would have to be pro at pressing into place without smearing...
The kit comes with a shiny strong bar to replace the big plastic cover (the one you take off to get to the oil filter). That went on easy. I show a pic of the socket on the oil filter to show it's a snap to get at now.
FINI
Since I plastidipped all the "dull aluminum" parts already, the scoops look great. Might be my imagination, but the dash seems to vibrate a bit less with the metal bars. This is NOT a project for the faint of heart!! You can't undo it unless you know a bodywork person to fill the holes and paint the panels.
Note: the pic of the scoop shows the reflective pinstriping I put on. Just followed the contours all over the bike, and the edge of the windshield. I also plastidipped the bottom of the windshield and the covers. Comes off easy if it gets torn to re-paint (haven't had to yet - it is holding up VERY well).

Reason: Added pinstripe note
Are the Heat Recall Air Scoops still available?
