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.

I agree but it's spelled "nekkid". I tend to slide off the seat.
I blame it on google's advanced spell checker.:2excited:

2021 RT Ltd. Build date Feb, 2021...
Received the BRP OEM adjustable wind deflectors that were on sale in the BRP catalogue.
Honestly... I don’t think I received the right items. BRP said they had to find a dealer who had them to send to me. Okay... arrived in two boxes taped together. No part numbers on the boxes or labels of any kind on the boxes. Opened the boxes.the items were in plastic sleeves surrounded by thin foam packing...all each box contained were the plastic deflectors.. 2 smaller ones in one box and 2 larger ones in other box...no hardware....no instructions...just a printed sheet that showed warning statement in several languages and also gave a website www.instructions.brp.com.
Went to the website... i thought the instructions were vague and didn’t show very good pics of the parts.
Part numbers stamped on the items are:
For the big ones:
BRP Canada RH. >PC< 70501. Y then some kind of dial M then some kind of dial. 5124
BRP Canada LH. >PC< 70501. Y then some kind of dial. M then some kind of dial. 5123
For the smaller ones:
BRP >PC<
MADE IN CANADA
70501 5121. M then some kind of dial
LH Y then some kind of dial
BRP. >PC<
MADE IN CANADA
7051. 5122. M. Then some kind of dial
RH. Y then some kind of dial
I expected the deflectors to pivot right out of the box...they don’t move at all... look to me like the originals that are on the bike. I had planned to let the dealer install them on my first oil change coming up but now am concerned they are not the right items and I won’t be able to return them for refund if I wait too long.
For those of you who have made this purchase does it sound like I have received the correct parts?
Thank you for your responses.
I know a picture is worth a thousand words but have not tried to upload a pic on this site...usually can’t on these websites but will try here shortly.

I like em! Tested them on a 90 day - and I do not ride full gear anymore and I was wearing shorts- the air flow(lower ones) was wonderful and directed up my shorts!
Lubricated the joints before installing now with just a finger I can adjust them easily.
Pooch - you got the right ones!
My boxer were also taped together and marked lower and upper, the deflectors them selves are marked inside LH and RH.
Use the same fasteners from the old deflectors, just clean off the yellow thread lock BRP uses before install.

Don't feel bad. I can't upload either. As long as the ones you received have the pivot base vs the OEM fixed mount, you have the correct ones. I had my servicing dealer install mine. As mentioned, they make a world of difference in riding comfort. They should be standard from the factory.

I used a multipurpose chain lube - very thin and I just let the excess drip off before I installed them. From what I could see the assembler does not put any lubricate on the joint, I made my own decision to lubricate so do what you want to do because once installed its about impossible to do it after install.

I received mine and installed them. It was a fairly simple, straight forward install. I went for a short ride (seven miles) around a loop near my house. Set my cruise at 40 mph and was dressed in a t shirt and shorts (with helmet) so I could feel the difference. I had them both opened and then closed. Left side open, right side closed. There's a very noticeable difference and all I can say is they're very good at what they do. Money well spent.
This is my fourth Spyder and on my previous three Spyders I've had the Baker Air Wings installed (which I thought was the best functional mod you could do). I wasn't crazy about Baker's design for the 2020 RT so I took a leap of faith and bought the BRP adjustable wind deflectors. So far, I'm pretty happy with them.
Having bought them on the BRP website (20% off) with free shipping and no sales tax, it's not a bad deal.
