    The two airboxes sit left and right of center and have little effect on blocking airflow.

    The 1330 throttle body is forward facing. The still airbox is forward forward of that. The duct that couple the 1 airbox to the still airbox its over the steering unit. Airbox #1 is on the left side.

    The airboxes could be removed, not sure you would gain much. The intake manifold would be more difficult, but someone with enough skills, time and money could design a new one. Lot of work though.

    You didn't comprehend what I wrote. The 1330 suffers the same problem that the 998's have in that you can't get to the spark plugs easily. The 1330 is worse. As you so illustrated in the second picture showing the 2 airboxes that cover the top of the 1330 engine thus making it impossible to get to the spake plugs. Read the shop manual for changing the plugs. So removing the airboxes has merit if one wants to easily work on the top of the engine are with out removing a bunch of interference just to do the job.Why would one want to remove the air intake and throttle body. The design as it stands makes it easy to come up with a new air filter design like the one for the 998 engines.

    Doc, you are correct, every 28,000 miles I need to remove one airbox to replace spark plugs.

    Sorry I did not comprehend everything you posted about removing heat or how involved replacing spark plugs might be.

    But now the real question about keeping the rider cooler. If you install the scoops, there is no means to run the BRP air deflectors. How does the rider aim airflow onto themselves with the scoop in the way and blocking the flow to the rider?

    All the best.

    I had the BRP air deflectors and was not impressed with there performance riding in the high 90 degree weather here for the last month and a half. I have the windshield that has the vent in it that in the summer I open except if it is raining. It provides air where it is needed (upper body). If you feel the air stream of the open air deflectors it is pulling hot air out of the engine compartment and directing it back to the rider.

    Called the dealer today to get the scoops. Lucky I had the part # and the price. He started out at $150 each until I insisted that everyone was getting them for $67, finally he agreed and after I went over there and paid for them, ordered them. Not allowed to take a CC# over the phone, WTF.

    Thanks Doc for providing the correct info.

    Thanks Doc, I installed the scoops today, your help with the blind holes is appreciated. Somewhere it said that when you installed the main scoop you should take the grill off and then install it again. I did that on the first one, but it isn't necessary, so didn't on the 2nd one. Someone else had an issue reinstalling the air wings and had to re-engineer them. I have the Baker ones and I could re-install the top ones, but their movement is limited but still useful.

    They are the BRP Scoops. Part number 219800388. As mentioned in other threads they are $67.00 plus tax. The vents are a great accessory at an unbelievable price from BRP.

    Default RT vent kit on 2014 RT

    Got the scoops put on my 2012 by the dealer for zero cost on Saturday. They seemed good on the way home. I will give them a better test on Tuesday.[someATTACH]115440[/ATTACH]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1441643582.810788.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1441643591.496684.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1441643600.729835.jpg

    Wink Scoops going on

    I ordered scoops and dealer will install next week when in for my 20k service. Wow only 8 months and 20k on my 2014 RTL.
    Anyway thanks for info but dealer cut me some slack and tech has put on several on 2013 retro so I'll let him do it.
    FYI, Canadian dealer here was $74.00 for kit and max $150.00 to install.
    CMS in Courtenay installed them. Craig did good job!

    I received the material that you sent. The picture of the heat recall looks the same on my spyder. No vents were installed so when I go back to thew dealer I am going to see if he would supply the scoops and I will install them. Thanks for all the material that you sent. Dave in MI.

    Just call around to dealers near you with the part number posted above. I got mine from a local dealer that had them in stock.

    This looks like a worth while mod, anytime you can reduce temps in the engine compartment is a good thing. Just my 2 cents.

    It is smart and don't let the dealer try to charge more than the $67 List price.

    Default Vents

    I recieved instructions from Dave and put these on my 2014 RTS and they preform great. My glove box is no longer hot, have cool air moving over it, and the Spyder is much lighter, as you remove two panels under the Tupperware. I cut my plastic with a dremel type tool. Good luck to all who try.

    But I have a question: what sort of riding conditions do you normally encounter?
    City traffic (Stop & Go)
    Suburban
    Rural
    Interstate riding

    I ride rural two-lanes about 90% of the time, with virtually no traffic around me.
    My bike never heats up, and I just wonder if it's the "sitting in traffic"; that makes folks feel the heat.

    Thanks!

    The scoops look great and anything to remove the heat around the glove box area is a must. Now i'll do the same.

    Thanks Doc for posting!

    Hey Bob, It is much more noticeable when getting stuck in traffic, but at this time of year down here in Florida, the temps have been around 100 or more, so it doesn't make much differernce where whether you are in town, or out on the road, if you are in the sun, it's HOT. The vent kit really makes a difference in the rider seating area, and glove box.

    Through our (Australian) summer I had no heat problems with the 1330 motor heating up any body panels.

    So to give a little extra cooling I did the following as I don't find the need for additional scoops.
