Sometimes, the most fun comes from working your way around something... :thumbup:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

From what I'm reading hear having the scoops installed on my 2011 may be the way to go.

I had it done to my 2010 and it works great. No more hot gas cap or boiling gas. Actually feels like an A/C coming from the seat area at the glove box. Took alot of complaining and work on my part to get this approved.
Only complaint is that you hear a good bit more engine noise since the acoustic panels were taken off than before.

Do you have the part number for the scoops kit with the braces to replace the panels? Would like to order a kit for Louise new 15......
She actually complains that its much hotter than her 13 was post recall.

Had my 2011 done.
My 2011 RTL threw some heat. Not as bad as some. I contacted my dealer and they ordered the scoop kit and installed it at no cost to me. It made a huge difference. I would recommend having it done.
Here is some info. From a previous thread that helped me with my transaction. I just emailed my dealer with this information and an explaination of my problem and they took care of everything.

Get 'em
I would definitely get them, they should be on all of them. The difference in mine is like night and day. I used to have to leave it outside for at least 1/2 hr. for the evap. overflow to stop dripping, now I hit the door opener and drive in without stopping. I also don't feel like I have to keep one eye in the mirror watching for smoke or flames while going down the road.

Scoops Done - Thanks Johnny K's!
Many thanks and a big thumbs up to Anthony and the team at Johnny K's Powersports in Lodi, OH. They contacted BRP to get me the full warranty coverage for both parts and installation of the scoops on my 2012 RT Limited. Then called me to make an appointment, and got it done quickly. These guys have always done a great job keeping me happy and on the road! And the scoops look awesome on the RT! :yes: :clap:

Air Scoops added to Louise 2015 RT
Finished installing these yesterday...
One of the first things Louise noticed about the 2015 was how much WARMER it was than her 2013. No more.
She is also sporting a new laser alignment done right here in Houston and ready for the Hill Country Ride next weekend!

Good to know. I moved to Palm Bay a few months ago and need to find a reputable dealer. I'll have to pop in there after Biketoberfest and see about getting this done. I want to have a sway bar and foot pegs installed anyway, might as well do it all at once. Thanks!

So do the scoops only come in black?

I had it done for my '12 RTL and I've only seen them in Black. The front aprox 1-1/2 inches is high gloss/smooth finish and the rest is Matte black/rough finish. But they look great on all the trykes I've seen 'em on, regardless of the color of the Spyder...

I'll bet that they'd be pretty easy to color-match... :thumbup:
heat issues
I have posted several times in response to this issue. I contacted BRP regarding the heat on my 2012 RT LTD. They were GREAT. They arranged for my dealer to get the scoops and install everything for me as an accommodation at no cost to me. I was not the original owner, had no extended warranty and was beyond the two years, but they took care of everything for me. I don't think one ask for any more responsive a company than that. It has made a world of difference on my bike, and I can now drive 600 miles in 90 plus with no issues.

I'm doing my 2010
After reading this thread, I've decided to install the kit on my wives 2010 RT. I ordered the kit yesterday and should have it by next weekend. The dealer said they have to wait until they have a minimum of $150 to order from BRP. The scoop kit was something like $68 and I ordered a rubber grommet I'm missing from my left side tupperware for an additional $4. He said that he should have enough sales by Monday to put in the order. I'm planning on taking pictures during the install and I'll post again after the job is done.
