 bugs and leaves
Hey there all you 2014 RT ryders. Has anyone thought of a way to keep the bugs, leaves, and cigarette buts out of the front of the RTs. Every time I go out for a ryde I wind up having to clean out the two spaces in the front of the spyder. The reverse fans blow out the heat but not what gets caught up in there. Maybe an inventor can figure something out. Never had this problem with the 2011, actually more of a pain than a problem. Will be heading down to Kissimmee, FL. in a week and trying to figure a way to keep the road trash out of there.

Perhaps a finer mesh screen that could be easily removed for cleaning?

And have a fun trip! Take lots of pictures for the rest of us! 
Pictures will be taken for sure Bob. On the 7th we are meeting long time friends for a late lunch at Joe's Crab Shack in Celebration, one of them works for the mouse and am gonna ask if they know where I may be able to get a secret pic of the spyder and something that belongs to the mouse. May even swing by Central Florida Power Sports so they can visit with the bike  .

I wish that bugs and butts were all that got caught in mine. The RT is a tumbleweed magnet and they are prickly plants. I am going to start vacuuming them out instead of getting poked in the fingers.

On my test bikes I got leaves, cigarette butts, and two time pieces of cardboard. I wish I was handy enough to figure out how to make a guard type of thing, and I would have.

Can't call in sick, Might miss out on something and won't be able to pick up my final check.

Have not tried it yet but I believe a fine mesh screen door material cut to just fit the opening with tabs attached for easy grasping to pull out might just be the answer. A friend of mine suggested this to me when I was complaining about some leaves and a small tumbleweed that had got caught in the opening. Seems reasonable!

trash screen
I agree with some type of screen but not too fine or we will restrict air flow and open another can of worms.
Ride safe (waiting for my new RT to come in)

I'd like to see something that'll discourage the odd rock or squirrel from busting a hole in those radiators...
