Gap in fairing panels

[GeoffCee]

I have a 2010 RT - S
My panels fit the same as yours

There is alot on this website about the excessive heat the Spyder can
give off - It maybe the gaps are there to allow extra ventilation anyway

I had put the problem of gappy panels to bed.............. but as you raise it, maybe there is a connection with ventilation, who knows? Have you ever looked closely at a BeeEmm R1150RT? Fully faired, that model was my last 2-wheeler, sold only 2 months ago and owned by me since it left the factory in 2003. No question of a panel not fitting perfectly with its neighbour on that machine. Seriously. You kinda get used to quality of design and production when you are rubbing up against it every day.

I see an unexplained gap in my new Spyder's best suit of clothes and I want to know why it's there. Curiosity. That's all I'm saying. Thanks for telling me your panels are the same. Others have told me so, too. That's comforting in a sideways-looking sort of way... :sour: :spyder:
