    Installed mine this morning took me 10 minutes tops and fit like a glove. Ill report back on riding with it when I get some miles on it. Once it was on like a lot of folks I thought "surely someone at BRP should have thought of this." It only makes sense to me.

    BRP did think of it----just not soon enough for us. Look at the radiator of an RT and you'll see a plastic air-dam.....

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    I too cannot say I see a difference so far. I had a similar experience after install and first ride doing 50 at 70 degrees for an hour or so with 4 bars but will see.

    We need someone from the desert area to report back...how about in the 90s and running on the highway for a while...or, HHH (like Miami), and a lot of stop and go traffic?

    I've seen 5-6 bars, but not too often, even in the summer...but I try to keep moving to keep the air flow going...

    I will say that riding in the 50s gives me 3 bars and better mileage...

    I am not in the desert, but it was 97F here yesterday with a heat index of 105F when we went for a ryde. The temp gauge hit 5 bars when stopped at a traffic light, and dropped back down to 4 as soon as we started rolling again. I kept the speed under 65 the entire ryde, and the temp gauge stayed at 4 bars. That is plenty of proof for me.
    Very Happy Spyder Ryder!

    Rode it to work today, 73 degrees which is what I have been riding in for a few weeks now even cooler on some days. the bike ran a full bar cooler I would say and i would say it seemed to maintian a more consistent temp. by that I mean it went to 3 bars and stayed there cept during a few periods where i have to slow below 40 and an extended period at 25 where it ran at 4 bars. normally my bike runs at 4 and occassionally moves to 5 even at 70 degrees. it didnt seem to fluctuate as wildly as it normally does or move to 5 to 3 and inbetween as often. Tommorrow its suppsed to be 85 here so that will be an interesting test.

    If you paid with paypal, like I believe the rest of us did, you'll be fine...plus, always be certain to use your credit card. I don't think there is any problem as everyone seems to be happy, but credit card companies aggressively pursue those who commit credit card fraud...I wouldn't concern yourself at this time...try contacting Harvey again and give it a bit more time to arrive...I ordered mine today...I hope to have it before the end of the week so that either I can get it installed this weekend, or so that I can do it one day next week...

    my kit finally is here. when i opened the package, my brain had the same reaction when i received the evo's anti sway bar.
    if it works that's all it matters.
    it's above 90 degrees here in vegas. i will install it tomorrow and report back.

    I haven't gotten mine yet but I'm grateful for all the merchants who are ambitious and are trying to make our Spyder experiences as good as possible.

    Thank you Harvey and others...keep the stuff coming!

    Got my kit a couple of days ago. Really quick delivery. I was impressed by packaging and instructions.

    Installed it this evening after work. Quick and easy...even looked like the pictures!

    Am ryding to middle of Tucson tomorrow afternoon, it will be interesting to see what the temps do. I'll post whatever I see.

    I've already plugged the right side air dam, and have noticed a big change in the temperature of my right foot. No more fully cooked boot!

    Thank Harvey for your idea and the kit.

    Brian just put ours on this morning. It hasn't been warm enough to truly test if it makes a difference yet or not but I have no doubts that it will. Thank you Harvey. See you in Chicago next month. Can't wait to meet the Mrs.

    Default Testing Testing

    Harvey---got mine its in and now its time for a test run----would west on Rt.66 up the coast of California across to Yellowstone down to Pikes Peak then over to Cuba for an oil change.
    Would that be considered a worthy test?

    Thank You for your interest in the new “Missing Air Dam” for the Can-Am Sypder RS.

    I apologize for not being prepared with a website to order these from. I installed 10 “Missing Air Dams” at the Spyderfest in Missouri and instantly they were a hit. I now have them ready to ship. $20.00 plus $5.50 shipping and handling in Continental U.S., Canada $12.00, all other countries email for quote.

    If you will give me your email address I will send you an invoice through PayPal and as soon as I receive payment it will ship. The email will be from Harvey Clark, Harvey@repops.com.

    Please make sure the address listed with your payment is the one you want it shipped to. I will be shipping by USPS, check your mail box!

    Feel free to contact me by email with any questions using the subject of Missing Air Dam: Harvey@repops.com

    Thanks again for your interest,
