    Thumbs up Recall work done

    Picked up my trike yesterday. Road 80 miles no hot or warm topper ware. Was a frustrating experience, won't get into that!
    Scoops look like the belong there!
    Also seems to shift smoother, will check gas mileage after a couple fill ups.over all I am satisfied with the look and coolness!

    Default Had the recall upgrade done last week and am enjoying riding in FL heat....

    I am pleased to say that I was one of the first, if not the first, to have the recall upgrade done by Central Florida Powersports and am very happy with the mods. I have read all the posts for some time and have just waited and let it happen, having all the confidence in the service department. They again didn't disappoint me at all. I can now put things in the glove box without being concerned if they will be ruined by the heat, it now stays cool. The panels are cool while riding and I can feel cool air coming around the seat and around the panels. Yes, we still get warm air from the right side but that just means I won't put my foot in the area of the heat exhaust from the radiator. Maybe someday I will look into putting a panel on that side, if I am assured that I won't interrupt the air flow through the radiator. But, that's another time, right now I will ride in the heat in Florida and not worry that i will catch on fire from the heat or the gas tank won't explode. I can now put fuel in without having splashback until I get a couple of gallons in to cool the tank off, as well as I don't hear the fuel boiling any more.
    Great job guys and thanks BRP for more than just a quick fix. As I always say 'anything good is worth waiting for' and this is a good example of that.

    What scoop? Just for info, I came from more than 200k miles on Goldwings, and they could be very hot at times. Now have 14 RS-S and have found the RS-S to be cooler to ride in the 90's. I ponder if the scoop is like the one on my RS-S. All radiator exhaust out the side.
    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it. Sypder Loco!
