Well, I am going to take off my SpyderPops block off plate and leave the baker bilt wings on for the lowers. I think the block off plate does cause it to overheat, as Spyderpops was warned by BRP. Will wait and see if I can get a molded deflector the radiator exhaust that shoves the hot air out past my feet. Other than the dang heat problem, and Nanny getting overly excited, I am loving the spyder RT. BUT BRP needs to listen to the customers and do something smart on the hot exhaust blasted to the driver's right leg....it can't be that big of a deal to exhaust it elsewhere.
You are not wrong the '13 has a one piece swoop no lower pan. It was part of the prep for the '14. I am becoming more sure the 13 was supposed to have the 1330 in it but the engine was delayed.
I had some heat from the lower right hole, more noticeable on my 13, due to the running boards. I had my dealer install the Spyderpops lower block off plate last fall, he also drilled 3 large 1.5 inch holes in the inner swoop piece behind the radiator, and when he installed my Bajaron swaybar, he left the bottom panels off of both sides. I have no heat on my right foot now, and my bike temp runs in the middle. My bike is totally comfortable now, as that was the only heat issue I had. I also had the computer update done this year and I think my overall mileage is better too, we are currently on a trip and have been averaging 32-35 mpg, driving 65-70, two up with a loaded rt622 trailer. Now if I could come up with a way to keep the back of the bike from getting so filthy and my wife's back from getting wet in the rain.....
NOTE: I edited your quote.
