    Glad to hear your report and very happy for all those effected by "former" ​heat issue. Enjoy your riding season, which I assume in Texas never ends, lol!

    What do you think of the look of the new scoops?
    Are they a "", or a ""?

    Glad that it's working for you. The more positive reports I read like your's, the more I can't wait to get mine done. It goes into the shop on July 13th. (I'm out of town 'till then.)

    All the reports seem to be positive on the heat fix. It is looking like BRP got it right.

    Had mine done on Friday and was amazed at how cool the glove box and front of seat area are now. Plus the right foot heat, which is now not only less but divided between both right and left side vents.

    My wife has an '014 RT and these areas on mine are even cooler than on hers now. Wonder if they'r (BRP) going to make the scoops available for all models? If so getting some for her bike too.

    Only spot I'm still feeling any warmth while riding is further back in the seat under my butt, but no where near as badly as before.

    Question for those who've had the fix done and also had the Cat delete? Did the combination (or just the cat delete itself), get rid of the heat/warmth beneath the seat as well?

    Thanks

    Is that with the original Cat or the Y Pipe? would be good knowing if there is little difference with the Y Pipe installation.

    I got mine back Saturday. 75 mile ride home with no issues. Scoops look nice and spyder ran smoother and sound was deeper.

    I got the recall on my 2013 RTL done about a week ago and I have about 200 miles on it since then. No gas smell or vapor lock when filling up and there is also a major decrease in the heat. As stated by other people on this thread I can actually can touch the little glove box without burning myself. I did notice that the temp gauge stays right in the middle just like before the recall. It has not been really hot so it is just a matter of time for the real test.. The color of my is Black Currant so the scoops are a good match and look like they were suppose to be there.

    I just purchased a 2013 RT-S Se5 and have put about 200 miles on it. So far I am liking it very much but the ride is taking some getting used to, Former Vulcan 1500 owner so the ride is different. The new scoops look great and I think add to the overall look of the front view.

    Default Looking forward to the recall mod being done in a couple of days

    Your posts have made me excited to see the difference. My service will be done this week. I'm still getting cooked, but it hasn't stopped me from riding.

    You will not be disappointment , The vents looks good, the heat difference is what you will really notice.
