You actually can but I myself always like to have some spares and I do replace some of mine after they have been used multiple times. I know it's anal...

Actually I have one bag of them I use if one starts to feel funny, that's why I asked....they get expensive quick.

Here is the parts list for a white one. The panels are listed as to what BRP is calling the 2014 white, Vegas White Satin, which I am not sure is the same as the 2103 Pearl White.

BRP insulation that goes on the inside of the panels.

Carl, I just forwarded my request for quotation the new 2014 side panels to our local BRP dealership.
Expect to heard from them by next week.

Can you please tell me approximately how many man hours of labor will be needed to install these
panels on our STS.

Meantime, have you been able to notice any significant changes (other than the "cool" look) in engine temperatures after you installed the new side panels?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Beng

Snoopy, have you done anything about getting those new 2014 side panels yet?
I just on the Spderpops BumkSkid, Fox shock absorbers, RonBar and heim links installed.

Amazing how much smoother the bike is and the improvement in overall response/handling is
after changing the OEM shocks and sway bar!

Thanks to Ron for his sway bar and all the recommendations I have read to change the shocks to Fox (same as those in RSS)!
The mod is very cost effective.

I havent been been able to ride mine yet w the bad weather.

I haven't looked into the panels yet.

$900 is a big chunk when I'm not having any real issues.

Benggolf · Feb 11, 2014

So has anyone other than Carl installed these new panels on their STS?
Just hoping to get some feedback on how effective they are.

SNOOPY · Feb 11, 2014

Buy me the panels and I'll give you feedback on them. :thumbup:

:yes::yes::yes::yes:

That's a great idea but you won't ride now!
The bitter winter affecting you Snoopy?

Noticed you getting edgy.....
Take it easy; maybe start up your STS and get some saddle time. The exhaust sounds and fumes might
compensate for a short ride now that it is icy and bitterly cold. Brrrr!

Good time to test that First Gear Cover Alls.

SNOOPY · Feb 11, 2014

Yeah, itching to try out the shocks. By the time I try it out I won't remember how it felt stock :banghead:

quickster47 · Feb 12, 2014

I have found that when the temperatures outside are freezing the ST-S does not put out enough heat to keep one warm so I have really not made any conclusion on how well they are going to reduce the heat. Then again, I never really had too much of a heat problem with my ST-S.

More later...

Ordered the RH and LH 2014 Air Scoop Panels for a 2013 ST LTD

My CA dealer, JetWorld in Castaic, ordered the two panels for me at a price of $181 a piece. Wanted them in the color of my ST LTD, but they are only available so far in black. I can deal with that as my ST L is in pearl white and the black might just be a nice contrast to the rest of the Spyder. If I don't like the color, I can have them painted. Has anyone done this changeout with the panels? I'm curious if I can do it myself, or if I should give the panels to my dealer here in Bavaria where I live to do? Will see when they arrive. This is a practical addition to my ST LTD as the German plates up front are long and restrict the air coming in to the air intakes. This should give me some relief from the heat from the Rotax I would hope. Best from Bavaria! Rick:2thumbs:

Read through this thread, there are more than just 2 panels needed unfortunately.

Not so hard to do if you have all the correct parts, there is a parts list listed here somewhere as well.

Here's the list of parts needed to do the 2014side panel conversion on the STS:
