    Default Newest mod to help with heat

    I haven't seen this one posted on here yet. I trie out a new mod with my 2009 RS to try to help with the heat issue as well as the exhaust smell I get from my touring windshield an wind deflectors. I noticed on the 2013 ST it had a heat shield between the left and right side panels and the body which is currently open on the RS. You get a lot of heat coming up through these openings at your body, legs, and face. I decided to try and fit these to my bike so I ordered the 3 parts from the can an store. Around $90 for the set. The fit really well. I had to do a slight cut on the top of the inner plastic on the side with the fan since the shroud covering the fan is deeper on the newer model. Rose 350 miles today and it did great! Eliminates the heat coming up at you and forces more out of the side eliminating the heat at your foot also. Did mot affect the running temperature of the bike at all. Here is a few pictures after the install. What do y'all think?

    Glad they are working for you. The roasted right ankle is one part of the 2012 that I don't miss.

    Default Cooling mod..!!

    I installed "Spyderpops" cooling system and solved most of the heat problems. Bike runs cooler and heat is off of me. Your mod may help even more..

    Are the panels still easy to remove and put back on with those in place? Definitely let us know how it works when it gets much hotter out, as I may do the same thing to my wife's Spyder if it works well. Thanks for sharing.
    Very Happy Spyder Ryder!

    Panels still remove like normal. Funny thing is there's only one bolt hole that's not on the older spyders that is needed to mount and its not actually needed. Right side is simply removing the old shroud that's bolted into the side panel that forces air from the radiator out the side opening and bolting the new one in. The other side just snaps over the oil reservoir and bolts to the existing hole that sticks out from the side of the oil reservoir. Here is a picture of the oil side.

    I don't really know what a heat problem is? I live in AZ and during the summer we get up to 120 and have felt no bike related problems. So what am I missing??

    Did you get this as a kit, or each piece separately? Do you have the P/N handy.

    Harvey Clark and I were discussing this a few weeks back. My wife has issues on the LEFT side heat, and I wrapped the exhaust tubing that is shown there, but she still says there is heat, especially on hot days. I ordered part 705006981 for that (now she wants the right side 705006531 to make it look even ) My question is, what is 705005462? I can't find it on the parts catalog... Thanks!

    I found it in the parts list for the the ST models. Looks like the same part for both, but list a different number in the RSS parts fishe. Will order the ones he listed being he has installed and working on his bike.

    Go to the parts at the website. click on the 2013 ST limited SE5 and look under body accessories. They are #66, 69 and 74 in the parts fishe and that will be the 3 p/n he had listed.

    Some folks (about 85%) have reported heat coming from their bikes. Since ambient temps in the rest of the US (15%) equal or surpass the temps coming from the bike no actual addtional heat is detected. As hard as I try I just can't feel the heat when it's 112 degrees out! Other times its welcome.

    Does item #66 interfere with the Spyderpops heat management piece on the right "pod"? Does it replace that? I already have the Spyderpops scoop thing installed. SpyderRx could you please post a pic of the right side with the fairing removed?

    Maybe I'll just go to the hardware store and find a couple feet of flexible baseboard molding and double face tape? :-\

    Let me know how y'all think it works. I've been satisfied so far. Definitely doesn't solve the problem completely but does cut the hot air coming up at your face. The only downside I've seen is the new scoop does force a lot more air out the side. I have rivco highway pegs so this puts a lot of hot air on my right foot when using the highway pegs. Not unbearable though.
